Surrogacy in the EU - risks of exploitation and commercialisation (topical debate)
– Madame la Présidente, mes chers collègues, merci pour ce débat. Je crois qu’il aura été essentiel, notamment parce qu’il a permis de montrer que de tous bords viennent des voix qui tentent d’alerter sur cette mise en cause très grave de la dignité humaine que constitue la GPA. Certains collègues ont parlé, je ne dou...

Er is echter een wereldwijde industrie voor draagmoederschap ontstaan, die gepaard gaat met moderne slavernij en uitbuiting van kwetsbare vrouwen. Kinderloosheid kan zeer moeilijk zijn. Het inzetten van draagmoederschap als oplossing roep...
