  1. The Representation of Cross-Border Surrogacy in Australian Surrogacy Events.Yingyi Luo, Denise Cuthbert & Shelley Marshall - 2023 - International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics 16 (2):95-114.
    As a method of family formation, cross-border surrogacy is controversial and beset by risks of exploitation. This article extends the literature on surrogacy by examining the way Australian surrogacy promotion and information events represent cross-border surrogacy. It examines the emerging phenomenon of surrogacy events held by a not-for-profit surrogacy organization to promote cross-border surrogacy in Australia—a country that prohibits commercial surrogacy. The article draws on observations from a series of surrogacy events in Australia and online during the 2019–21 time period. (...)

  • Unraveling Informality and Precarity: New Labor Law Strategies for the Global Reproduction Network of Cross-Border Surrogacy.Yingyi Luo - 2023 - Asian Bioethics Review 16 (2):185-203.
    This paper provides an analysis of the complex global reproduction networks driving the rapidly expanding cross-border surrogacy industry in Asia’s reproductive bioeconomy. It sheds light on the unique features of informal surrogacy networks, notable for their flexible business ties and non-standardized surrogate mother recruitment. These factors contribute to heightened vulnerability for surrogate mothers operating within these networks. While previous literature has underscored the merits of labor law in regulating the surrogacy industry, its application in informal cross-border surrogacy remains under-examined. To (...)

  • The Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021: A Critique.Soumya Kashyap & Priyanka Tripathi - 2022 - Asian Bioethics Review 15 (1):5-18.
    In vitro fertilization (IVF) and surrogacy have enabled many to achieve their dreams of parenthood. With a turnover of $500 million, reproductive tourism in India has helped transform the country into a “global baby factory.” However, as the surrogacy industry grew, so did concerns of women’s exploitation, commodification of motherhood, and human rights violations. In an effort to prevent women from being exploited, the Indian government had taken successive administrative measures to regulate surrogacy. The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2016 and Assisted (...)

  • Producing Moral Palatability in the Mexican Surrogacy Market.April Hovav - 2019 - Gender and Society 33 (2):273-295.
    Scholars have long debated the relationship between morality and the market. Some argue that morality tempers market interests, while others argue that the market has its own moral order. Meanwhile, feminist scholars have argued that a false binary between altruism, family, and intimacy on the one hand, and the cold calculus of the market on the other, is based in gender ideologies. Norms around motherhood, in particular, emphasize self-sacrifice, love, and altruism in opposition to self-interested market logics. Commercial surrogacy blurs (...)

  • Global justice in the context of transnational surrogacy: an African bioethical perspective.Ademola Kazeem Fayemi & Amara Esther Chimakonam - 2022 - Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics 43 (2-3):75-93.
    The ongoing debate on how best to regulate international commercial surrogacy defies consensus, as the most cogent normative and jurisprudential grounds for and against non-altruistic surrogacy remain controversial. This paper contributes to the debate by focusing on social justice issues arising from transnational, moneymaking surrogacy, with a focus on the Global South. It argues that existing theoretical perspectives on balancing interests, rights, privileges, and resources in the context of cross-border surrogacy—such as cosmopolitanism, communitarianism, liberal feminism, radical feminism, and neorealism—are not (...)

  • Outsourcing problems or regulating altruism? Parliamentary debates on domestic and cross-border surrogacy in Finland and Norway.Lise Eriksson - 2022 - European Journal of Women's Studies 29 (1):107-122.
    This article employs the concept of respectability and the discursive representation of gender equality policies to discuss how surrogacy is represented in Nordic parliamentary debates and policy documents. The article’s objective is to study how respectability, problems and equality are represented and discursively and rhetorically produced through a comparative study of Finnish and Norwegian political discourses on domestic unpaid surrogacy and cross-border commercial surrogacy. The article uses rhetorical and discursive analysis to analyse the Finnish and Norwegian Parliaments’ bills, members’ initiatives (...)

  • Reproductive outsourcing: an empirical ethics account of cross-border reproductive care in Canada.Vincent Couture, Régen Drouin, Jean-Marie Moutquin, Patricia Monnier & Chantal Bouffard - 2019 - Journal of Medical Ethics 45 (1):41-47.
    Cross-border reproductive care (CBRC) can be defined as the movement from one jurisdiction to another for medically assisted reproduction (MAR). CBRC raises many ethical concerns that have been addressed extensively. However, the conclusions are still based on scarce evidence even considering the global scale of CBRC. Empirical ethics appears as a way to foster this ethical reflection on CBRC while attuning it with the experiences of its main actors. To better understand the ‘in and out’ situation of CBRC in Canada, (...)

  • Aspectos bioéticos de la gestación subrogada comercial en relación con la madre portadora: el conflicto entre los principios de justicia y autonomía.Diego García Capilla & Salvador Cayuela Sánchez - 2020 - Revista de Filosofía 45 (1):27-46.
    La gestación subrogada se ha convertido en los últimos años en un tema de radical actualidad en nuestras sociedades. Son muchas las personas que en los países ricos han aprovechado las nuevas posibilidades de utilizar un “vientre de alquiler” para alcanzar sus anhelos de paternidad o maternidad. No obstante, esta práctica atenta a menudo contra la dignidad de la mujer portadora, sostenida sobre un principio de autonomía basado en un ficticio libre consentimiento propio de la bioética neoliberal, ciego por otro (...)
