Surrogacy still stigmatized, but attitudes changing

What is your first reaction when you hear about a surrogate mother arrangement? Do you think it’s good? Bad? Right? Wrong?

Regardless of what we think, surrogate mothers are a reality and many couples are benefiting from the actions of women who choose to carry babies for them.

According to a conference presentation today, Surrogacy still stigmatized, though attitudes changing among younger women, “Although younger people are becoming more positive towards surrogate mothers, current day attitudes to surrogacy are still broadly negative.”

Will surrogacy become like adoption did? There was a time when there was a stigma to being adopted – maybe with time, surrogacy will begin to slip under the radar and become just another way of life?
