Pope Francis Calls For Global Ban on Surrogacy

Pope Francis has called for a global ban on surrogacy, stating that it is a violation of human dignity and must not be used as a means of trafficking children. Surrogacy is a practice in which a woman carries a child for another couple or individual, who then raises the child as their own. It is already illegal in Italy and some other European countries.

The pope's statement was made during a homily at the Vatican on March 18th, 2023. In his speech, he emphasized that surrogacy is a form of exploitation and that it goes against the natural order of human life. He also criticized the use of IVF (in vitro fertilization) and other forms of assisted reproductive technology, stating that they are a violation of human dignity and must be used with caution.

Surrogacy has been a controversial issue for many years, with some arguing that it is a form of child trafficking and that it goes against the natural order of human life. Others argue that it is a way for couples who are unable to conceive naturally to have children, and that it should be allowed under certain circumstances.

It is important to note that surrogacy is not legal in many countries around the world, including the United States, where it is only allowed in some states. The practice is also heavily regulated in countries where it is legal, with strict rules in place to prevent abuse and ensure the well-being of the children involved.
