The Bioethics of Surrogacy: Looking Back and Ahead
Surrogacy is helping growing numbers of people become parents, but it continues to raise complex ethical and legal questions. From the landmark “Baby M” case in the 1980s to controversies in the headlines today, how have the debates evolved? And what can we learn from surrogacy’s history to better protect and support prospective parents, children, and surrogates? Join The Hastings Center for Bioethics and Retro Report on November 11 at 5 p.m. ET for a timely discussion on this issue.
The third event in The Hastings Center’s “Frontiers in the Ethics of Human Reproduction” series features legal and bioethics scholars Judith Daar and Katherine L. Watson, along with surrogacy agency educator and former surrogate Kelly Enders-Tharp. Hastings Center President Vardit Ravitsky will be the moderator.
