Online article of May 25, 2016 read: A surrogate mother who gave birth to triplets for a man she has never
met despite his demands to abort one of the healthy babies is now suing for
custody of the children.
Melissa Cook,
48, from California, believes the father, reported to be a 50-year-old deaf
postal worker from Georgia who lives with his elderly parents, is unable to
care properly for the babies.
Her lawyers,
Harold Cassidy and Michael Caspino, say a recent change in California law has
effectively stripped surrogates and the children they carry of all rights and
argue such a position is unconstitutional.
‘Surrogacy
need to be fixed because right now the women who carry the babies and the
children have zero rights. No right whatsoever. And there needs to be balance
here.
‘The only
people with rights under the California statute are the people who write the
checks to get the babies. Nobody else matters. That is wrong. That needs to be
fixed.’
Discuss the ethical issues involved in surrogacy
and state how best to resolve the above ethical dilemma.
