Why is it illegal to pay a surrogate mother?
Let It Be
I heard that it's illegal (in the UK anyway) to pay a surrogate mother.
Why is this? I'm just curious.
Answer
It is illegal to sell people in the UK and that is how the law views it, as a mother selling her baby.
In the past the very poor would rent their bodies and sell their children and young women in particular were pressured or even forced into this (usually against their will or through sheer financial desperation)
So this law was introduced and enforced to protect both the mothers and children.
The law allows for some compensation for surrogate mothers, including medical expenses, loss of earnings, transport, everyday misc expenses (like food or maternity clothing) or expenses towards help (like having a babysitter if the surrogate mother had young children of her own and needed help during the pregnancy) it also allows a small 'gift' amount to be given in appreciation.
Now that isn't to say that off the record there are no 'arrangements' made between the parties involved but it is all done unofficially and it dances between the legal and illegal line. Usually they give 'gifts' or offer certain perks to the mother without ever acknowledging that it's payment for a 'service'.
The bottom line is that a surrogate mother cannot ask for compensation that does not cover her reasonable expenses during the pregnancy and the other party cannot pay a surrogate mother for 'selling' her 'services'
