In the USA, gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy are divided. In the traditional case, the ovum of a surrogate mother is used. And in the case of gestation, an embryo created from the biological material of the intended parents is transferred to the uterus of the surrogate mother, and the surrogate mother has no genetic connection with the child. Gestational surrogacy accounts for 95% of all surrogacy in the US. It is fully legal in 10 states. The main fear of not legalizing the payment of gestational carriers in all states is that there will be exploitation of poor women. But a large survey of research on surrogate mothers says that the stereotype that surrogate mothers are poor, single, young women from ethnic minorities, from families with financial difficulties does not correspond to reality. On the contrary, 80% were Caucasian, and 65% had a higher education. And that the main motive that motivated surrogate mothers is the desire to help. So you need to continue such research to know the truth. And surrogate mothers should be given the opportunity to receive compensation for their hard work, regardless of their state of residence.
