| Abstract: | Surrogacy is a global multi-billion-dollar industry. It is also a practice which raises a number of bioethical and political questions (O'Reilly 2016), some of which will be explored in this chapter. In surrogacy, commissioning parents are in a position to get the perfect child. In this scenario, embryos or foetuses with a disability may not be decreed the moral and legal rights to be born. These moral and legal dilemmas will be discussed by analysing some of the surrogacy cases that ended up in court. |
