Surrogates Transaction - A Horrible Commidity

Learn this from today's paper, India is the world most well known surrogates transaction site, with it's lower cost, abundant surrogates mother and less stringent legal guidelines. I hardly imagine the number of women that had been exploited and the quality of their life. Surrogate transaction is legalised by India government a decade ago, and it is so prominent that, couples from all around the world will come here for that. Some are infertile partners, some due to wives refusal on pregnancy and some are homosexual partner.

Destitute women in India turn to the offer of being a surrogates mother for monetary purpose, and it exposes them to risky pregnancy if they are above 35 and have a high parity of more than 6, which neither they are the practitioner will cautiously look into. The law and regulation is certainly not rigid enough to protect them. Neither to protect the surrogates children from being misuse of terrorism, prostitution and other unethical procedures.

This practice is new and we hardly can tell what crisis may bloom out from here, human being are just too creative in the issue of misuse resources. Even Einstein can't be quick enough to predict how man misuse his finding. Hence, in the issue of surrogates transaction, we need to deal with it cautiously otherwise the emerging tip may crush you.

I simply can't accept the fact that we turn our divine privilege to produce life into a commodity. Can this priceless privilege be exchanged for a price? When man and woman relinquish this right and privilege, and carry out the practice in away of commodity exchange, we are dehumanising ourselves. When a practice that bounded with such divine privilege is dehumanising, crisis beyond human capacity will just bloom out. The same concept applied on prostitution.

Even when it comes to IVF, I still feel sympathy and empathy. IVF is well established after few decades, it's not rare though the price is still a luxury. Truly it helps a lot of couple who hardly conceive, it modifies their life greatly. But what grieve my heart is the other embryos which waited patiently in the freezer for the possibility to be human, and a portion of not-well-developed embryo which is diminished.

Why would a couple intensely craving for an off-spring? May be out of their love for the child, but there isn't any child yet.
I would says that it's out of desire. Desire is common and absolutely normal for human being, but what matters is how do we respond to our desire? Our response to desire differentiate us.

Shouldn't give out our divine gifts of grace for the sake of temporal desire.
