Surrogate Motherhood

        When I first heard these two words "Surrogate Motherhood", the thing that came up to my mind is "adoption",a sort of a mother who is adopting a child that is not  biologically related to her. But, when my classmates thoroughly  explained the concept of this bioethical issue, my perception was completely wrong. Primarily, Surrogate motherhood is an arrangement in which a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or person. So,it briefly implies that surrogate mother is a woman who is arranged and chosen by the incapable of child bearing couple to carry and deliver their child until misconception. They are the one who will provide the needs of the surrogate mother as well also paying all her hospital fees. Evidently, we can't deny the fact that it really did exist here in the Philippines, not just here in the country but circulated worldwide. Since there are couples who are infertile, they will just do such terrible things for them to be happy and satisfied as a family. 

           Surrogacy is a very controversial subject when talking about its morality. Some religious organizations forbid their members from participating in surrogacy, no matter how desperate they are to have a child. Whatever the reason that couples might consider surrogacy, they must carefully weigh the pros and cons before proceeding. There are different factors that people who are considering surrogacy have to go through, from the time to decide whether they would go forward with it, to choosing the surrogate mother, the procedures involved, the fees required and the overall time frame. Each of these factors has its own pros and cons.    But, this surrogacy has also pros and cons.

          Philippines  is considered as the only Asian country  who has a large number of Christian devotees. So, surrogacy completely violates the teachings and dogma of our religion. The bible once says that only  married couple can do the sacred thing and must not be done outside the marriage. It is a sin and must be avoided. Let should not tolerate those people who are practicing this. Although it gives life to the infertile couple,but this act completely displeases our audience of onr. Let must be a moral citizen here in our country.
