Surrogacy Concern quoted in The Critic

Our founder has been quoted in The Critic in a new article by Jo Bartosch about womb transplants.

We are gravely worried about womb transplants and believe they will prove to harm more women than they help. Once the medical science exists to make womb transplants from living donors viable at scale, a market will open up for wombs; poor women in developing countries will be preyed on for their uteruses and may even be subject to organ harvesting – as we saw with 100 Thai women in Georgia last year, who were subjected to forced egg harvesting.

A thread here sets out our concerns about womb transplants in more depth. We urge politicians and the media to recognise the risks womb transplants pose to all women, particularly in developing countries.

We are available for further information and media comment.

About

We are a group of women and men in the UK, who have come together to oppose liberalisation of the law on surrogacy and to raise awareness of the surrogacy industry; we also oppose egg harvesting for the purposes of egg donation, and payments for egg donors. We do not believe it is right to separate mothers and their children, nor do we believe the law should be relaxed to make surrogacy easier in Britain.

Our founder and volunteers hail from left wing backgrounds; we campaign against surrogacy from a feminist perspective, which fundamentally centres the right of children to remain with their mothers, and against the commodification of women’s bodies and the commercialization of pregnancy. All are welcome to join us in our fight.
