Morning Wire · She Was Born Through Surrogacy. Now She’s Asking Why. · 26 Apr 2026 podcast

So we can be very proud.

Chile is currently passing a law to ban surrogacy, Ecuador as well.

So we're seeing a shift.

And in the US, I believe you are now speaking about stopping Chinese citizens from coming to America and buying themselves a child.

and having the U.S.

passport.

And we've also seen this wonderful U.N.

report from the Special Rapporteur on Violence Against Women and Girls, Reem Al Salam, who recently just did her report on surrogacy, and she calls for the universal abolition as well.

So we are seeing great, great changes, and it's only the beginning.

That I understand their desire deeply.

I'm a mother myself.

I'm a mother of three, but I wasn't supposed to have children because I have severe endometriosis.

I mean, I have three miracles at home, so I understand that desire deeply.

But you have to understand that a desire, even a very real and very painful one, doesn't create a right to a child.

I always say there is no international law to a child, but children have rights.

And

We cannot allow this, especially if it involves using another woman's body and organizing the separation of a child at birth.

So we have to distinguish between empathy for adults and the protection of children.

And of course, the desire is human.

Once again, it does not create a right to a child.
