Pope Francis demands to ban Surrogacy in the world, sparks new debate

Pope Francis has called for surrogacy to be banned worldwide. Pope Francis on Monday called for a ban on the disgusting practice of motherhood. Pope Francis said this during his annual address. He has also included surrogacy in the list of emerging threats to global peace and human dignity.

He has presented surrogacy as commercialization of pregnancy. In a foreign policy address to ambassadors accredited to the Holy Vatican, Francis lamented that 2024 begins at a time in history in which peace “is rapidly diminishing, it is becoming weakened and, to some extent, lost.” Citing the Ukraine-Russia war, the Israel-Hamas war, migration, the climate crisis and the ‘immoral’ production of nuclear and conventional weapons, Pope Francis, 87, condemned the shortcomings affecting humanity and international humanitarian law. Presented a long list of violations by allowing them. Francis also mentioned smaller-scale issues and said these issues, including surrogacy, threaten peace and human dignity.

He said the life of the unborn child must be protected and must not be “oppressed or trafficked.” Represents a serious violation of the dignity of woman and child based on exploitation of needs. He said that I consider surrogacy disgusting. A child is always a gift which can never be the basis of any agreement.

Let us tell you that surrogacy is quite common in countries like America. Here, along with surrogacy, security for the mother, independent legal representation and treatment coverage are guaranteed. There are many countries in the world where surrogacy has been banned. This includes Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Europe.
