Many of us have been moved by stories of a mother or sister acting as a surrogate so that a wanted child can be born to a family. The practice becomes more controversial once it is removed from a gift provided within a family and placed in a business arrangement where someone is paid for services. Provide both a defense and refutation argument for surrogacy for hire

For-hire surrogacy is somewhat problematic because there is more chance of the birth mother changing her mind and wanting to keep the child, or in someone not being satisfied with the product produced. Another problematic issue is the question of what is being paid for. Is it the service or is it the baby? If it is a baby, then somehow we must deal with the concept that we are buying and selling humans. A defense argument can be made in regard to the great need of families to have children outweighing the concerns, and that laws can be created to handle the potential problems associated with the payment system.
