    Noncommercial surrogacy arrangements can be ethically defended, offering a benevolent service between surrogates and intended parents. This contrasts with commercial surrogacy, which Canada

    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Reproductive Technologies
    • Family Law

    Background:

    • Canada's Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies has raised objections to surrogacy arrangements.
    • The commission's primary objection targets commercial surrogacy, leading to a broader rejection of all surrogacy forms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate the commission's objections to surrogacy.
    • To defend noncommercial surrogacy arrangements against ethical and legal challenges.

    Main Methods:

    • Ethical analysis of surrogacy arrangements.
    • Examination of the commission's report and stated objections.
    • Philosophical argumentation based on principles of benevolence and interpersonal relationships.

    • Noncommercial surrogacy can be ethically distinguished from commercial surrogacy.
    • Surrogacy arrangements based on benevolence foster positive relationships and mutual understanding.
    • The commission's blanket rejection of surrogacy may overlook the ethical viability of noncommercial arrangements.

    Conclusions:

    • Noncommercial surrogacy arrangements are ethically defensible and should not be rejected solely based on objections to commercial surrogacy.
    • These arrangements can be viewed as acts of benevolence, creating meaningful connections between surrogates and intended parents.
