Public Discourse

The Surrogate Uterus: The AGR Case and Melissa Brisman

By
The question of surrogacy has always been more about us than about the participants in the relationship. Will we use the power of the people to take a child from the arms of her mother when the mother is perfectly fit, loves her child, and desires to discharge her duties to her child?
