SOC303H1 Chapter Notes - Chapter 15: Egg Donation, Fertility Tourism, Infertility
Document Summary
In sweden, surrogacy is illegal and thus swedish parents look to transnational surrogacy. Mostly in india: the commissioning parents defy the exploitation discourse by mentioning the surrogate mother"s living situation and pointing out the benefits for her. Israel only allows israeli commissioning parents to have israeli surrogate mothers- leaving this surrogacy as internal state of affairs and thus banned reproductive tourism. 1: purpose of the study: to explore swedish commisioning couples" experiences and motivations for transnational gestational surrogacy and how they construct and negotiate their understanding of this arrangement in the light of the exploitation discourse on surrogacy. 2 couple generally they had a close relationship with the surrogate mother mutual language: still wish to have surrogate arrangement offered in sweden. In order to counteract the negative component of surrogacy in the media and the discourse of exploitation- the commissioning parents justified their use of surrogacy as contributing to a significant benefit for both parties in the surrogacy arrangement.
