She may be the child's genetic mother (the more traditional form of surrogacy), or she may, as a gestational carrier, carry the pregnancy to delivery after having been implanted with an embryo, in some jurisdictions an illegal medical procedure. Wiki Source. This could be because the woman is unable to actually give birth, in which case the surrogate would carry the fertilised egg for the couple, or because the woman is not actually fertile, in which case the male’s sperm could be used to fertilise the surrogate’s egg by a surgical procedure. Question: Should surrogate motherhood be allowed?

I've honestly never heard of any major problems with it. Beyond the potential struggle the surrogate mother might have giving up the child she carried (I say potential because it's my understanding that this is rarely the case), which is a deeply personal issue, I'm not sure there's any moral or ethical issue to debate on the subject to suggest not allowing it.

I haven't seen much opposition to surrogacy but I'm guessing there is some sort of conflict when it comes to religious people or homosexual couples. Aside from that, I really don't have any issue with surrogacy as long as it's contractual to avoid complications.
