Surogatinė motinystė – moderni moterų išnaudojimo forma
Surrogacy – a Modern Form of Exploitation of Women

Summary/Abstract: Who is the woman who conceives, carries the child and gives birth to it? In the case of surrogacy, this question is not easy to answer. The manipulation of concepts is used to establish a new social disorder. The natural course of biological events no longer determines a woman's motherhood, but is determined by contract. Women who decide to become „surrogate mothers“ pay a heavy price. Behind the noble aims lies a huge business that only creates the illusion of freedom and nobility. Surrogate mothers „rent“ their bodies and receive compensation for the child they give birth to. This exploits the poorest, most vulnerable women from poor countries and promotes reproductive tourism. Surrogacy is linked to prostitution and trafficking, with risks to health and life. Surrogacy violates human rights and the inherent dignity of women. Therefore, surrogacy must be banned worldwide. In order to preserve human dignity, we must first of all abandon the misconception of the human being, and not regard the human body as an object.
