Which of the following are arguments against surrogacy?

• A. Baby Selling
• B. Commodifies the Human Body and Treats Children as Property
• C. Exploits Women
• D. All of the Above

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is the ethical critique of surrogacy, focusing on arguments raised against it. Paying a surrogate for bearing a child is seen by many as turning a baby into something that can be bought or sold, which some argue demeans the child and redirects parental responsibility into a market transaction. A related worry is commodification: turning reproductive processes and offspring into market goods or property treats the human body and life as tools for trade, which can undermine respect for persons. A third concern is exploitation of women, particularly in situations with economic disparity or international arrangements, where pressure, coercion, or unsafe conditions may arise for the surrogate.

These concerns are distinct but interconnected, and together they form the broad critique that leads many to oppose surrogacy. That is why all of the above is considered the best choice.
