#5 IVF | FYI: Buying Babies or Creating Families? The Truth About Surrogacy with Emma Waters
Update: 2025-03-22
Description
Emma Waters unpacks the growing surrogacy industry, its ethical concerns, and its link to IVF. While often portrayed as an act of kindness, 98% of U.S. surrogacy contracts are commercial, turning pregnancy into a transaction.
Who are these women? Who is buying these children? What happens when babies are separated from the only mother they’ve known?
We also expose how foreign nationals, particularly from China, use surrogacy for U.S. citizenship.
As surrogacy expands, are we creating families—or commodities? Tune in for a critical discussion on bioethics, children’s rights, and the future of family law.
