| dc.description.abstract | Nowadays, the biological service of commercial surrogate mothers has caused great ethical controversy, especially within feminism. Some feminists believe that commercial surrogacy is moral, while some feminists believe that commercial surrogacy is immoral. However, logically, it is impossible to coexist pros and cons from the same perspective. Commercial surrogate mothers cannot be both moral and immoral. Therefore, this article aims to sort out the moral status of commercial surrogate mothers.
This article analyzes the key differences between the pros and cons of viewpoints through combing the arguments between pros and cons. Their key disagreement lies in their views on the relationship between a woman′s womb and her self-personality. Feminists who support commercial surrogacy believe that the female uterus is not necessarily related to the self-personality; opponents believe that the female uterus is closely connected to the personality self. This article analyzes this proposition and believes that there is no absolutely necessary connection between female reproductive structure and female self-personality. Then, this article examines various premises against commercial surrogacy, and analyzes that their premises are true or false. Therefore, they cannot prove their argument are true. When proving that the proposition ＂commercial surrogacy is immoral＂ is false, according to the law of excluded middle, it can be obtained that ＂commercial surrogacy is moral＂ is true.
After the negative discussion, this article enters the positive discussion. Based on the basic assumptions of feminism, this article deduce the fact that reproductive oppression exists in patriarchal society. Then, deriving commercial surrogate motherhood through reproductive oppression helps female clients to get rid of reproductive oppression. In addition, deduced from women′s rights, commercial surrogate mothers can help women as the entrusted party fulfill women′s rights, thereby breaking through reproductive oppression. In the end, this article completes the argument from the negative and the positive, and proves that the commercial surrogacy is moral. | en_US |
