    I mean I can imagine a person being a surrogate for a friend who cant have a child willingly. In most cases its just exploitative though

      there are exceptions but that doesn't change the exploitative nature. The relationship between the workers and their boss is exploitative, this doesn't change despite there being good bosses

        Criminalizing surrogacy would 100% make things worse… I can’t see why anyone that cares about people with wombs would support that.

        commerical surrogacy yes surrogacy where only medical fees can legally be paid I would argue is fine

        I see the parallels with the sex work argument and I think the comparisson raises an excellent point.

        So when people talk about abolishing the family do they generally mean the model of 2 parents and a kid completely isolated from anyone because in my experience that doesn't actually exist and family includes friends and other relatives
