So, what exactly is surrogate mothering? Surrogate mothering and contract pregnancy are terms that describe one of two arrangements. Situation one concerns a woman agreement to be artificially inseminated with t

The third point is about the contractual parent¡¦s perspective towards the child that was born inside the surrogate mother concerning half the gametes that belong to the surrogate mother. How much do you think the parents will love this child? Even if the mother who did not have the nine months pregnancy bonding between her and the fetus claims that she can deal with it, unconsciously, she might possibly look at that child different than one with her own gametes. If this happens, the victim is the child and he/she is completely innocent. The treatment from parents towards to this child will be less favorable than the one who has 100% gametes from them. This kind of indirect psychological damage between parents and that child will cause troublesome among them.

In the lower court decision on the surrogacy contract from this same understanding of what constitutes a real woman and mother the court did not uphold the validity of the surrogacy contract. (Page38, Warnke). Mr. Stern hired an expert of testimony of psychologist like Dr Schecter, who had claimed that he found out Whitehead has mixed personality disorder; also she suffered from borderline personality disorder.

But keeping the child was not sign of helping the sterile couples, nor of interest in money or of sacrificing her own interests. This kind of action is a straight representative of exhibiting selfishness and self-centered behavior. Whitehead even took the baby and hid it for three months. Therefore, within these strong evidences concludes that she cannot be considered a legitimate woman and mother but simply one who acts out of selfishness. Even lower court had strong evidences against Whitehead, many feminists who supposed the higher courts think lower court¡¦s decision is too early to determine Whitehead should not have the baby. They think there were many factors have to put into consideration and not just one side of the story. These feminists opposed the lower courts decisions

Overall, surrogate mothering is a hugely profound issue that must warrant consideration of all issues before predetermining false conclusions.
