Overview

A critical examination of surrogacy as a violation of women's human rights. This book exposes the exploitative practices of the surrogacy industry and its impact on women and children worldwide.

Renate Klein dissects the short- and long-term harms inflicted on surrogate mothers, egg providers, and children born through these arrangements. She argues that surrogacy, whether altruistic or commercial, can never be ethical, and calls for resistance to this dehumanizing trade. This book is for feminists, human rights activists, and anyone concerned about reproductive justice.

  • Understand the ethical implications of surrogacy.
  • Examine the exploitation of women in reproductive technologies.
  • Discover the forms of resistance to stop surrogacy now.

From reproductive technologies to the commodification of human life, this book challenges the prevailing narratives and offers a path towards a more just and equitable future. Join the fight to Stop Surrogacy Now.
