An ethicist summed up the problems with surrogate motherhood as follows:
1. Surrogate motherhood violates the marriage covenant between husband and wife.
2. – dehumanizes the procreative process.
3. – exploits women, especially those who take money for the use of their bodies.
4. – treats the child as a commodity.
5. – subverts the child’s relationship with his or her mother.
6. – disguises the child’s ancestry.
