My social media just got content about surrogacy. They said, some rich people do this. Especially rich people from China, artists or others. The cost is also expensive. doing treatment for the surrogate mother, then the cost of childbirth and also the agreement with the surrogate mother.
I also watched an Indian film about surrogate mothers. The thing that I think is a little sad is when the child is born with a disability, the real parents don't want to take care of it. I forgot the name of the film. Is this a normal thing in Indonesia? In Indonesia from the story I got, no one does something like that.
It's just that this year many officials and artists have adopted children. but, I also don't know about the conglomerate group, whether surrogacy is done or not. Then, do I agree with the agenda and will I do it?
I am quite open to new things, including the issue of surrogate mothers. But, for me personally I will not do that. Scientifically, a child in the womb will have an emotional bond with the mother. In my opinion, the emotional bond needs to be done by the biological mother, not the surrogate mother.
Another thing, I don't have much money. So, I won't do that. Feeling pregnancy and giving birth is actually a luxury for women. I want to feel that luxury as a woman. And feel my nature to be able to give birth.
Does my religion oppose it? I have not read any related studies on that, but it seems like there needs to be further study on surrogacy. So, I can't say whether it is possible or not according to religious views. I once talked to my mother, briefly and as far as we know, it is prohibited.
I think if in the Asian continent, especially in Southeast Asia, it will be against it. This is because of the culture and culture where women are very proud of their child's pregnancy. If opposed, maybe added with religious elements.
Surrogacy is a sensitive issue in society. Obviously, it will give rise to pros and cons. For Indonesian society, I think they will be very opposed. This is because of the culture and traditions in Indonesia. However, there is another alternative to having children, namely through IVF. For IVF efforts in Indonesia, it is not opposed. That's all I can tell you, see you again.
