Here in (country) everyone on the left hates surrogacy with a burning passion, since it involves rich people essentially buying babies and using the bodies of poor women for their own benefit. Even the right wing parties feel sliiightly uncomfortable discussing said topics (with the exception of the extremely liberal ones who also love to act all european and modern).

Even sitcoms such as Friends or Always Sunny in Philadelphia had plotlines where this happened and they didn't pointed out how some rich fuck was taking advantage of a poor person. (Well, it was a sitcom so the poor person was either an asshole or doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, but you get the picture: whitewashing surrogacy is also bad).

So yeah, what's the deal with that? No one points out how fucked up it is???

    Come on. It's very difficult to believe that you don't understand what a wild animal is.

    What I'm saying is that you are a moral agent. You can make decisions based on what is right, not what feels good or what your instincts tell you to do.

      "What is right" is not a fixed proposition, it's historically determined, and within a society of classes it's determined by the material interests of that class which rules over all others.

      I can choose to do many things, but it is foolish to expect me to choose self-destruction, and unwise of me to pursue it.

        Adopting a child as opposed to creating a new one is self-destruction???
