Jens Spahn is no longer party leader. He and his husband have a baby. A woman from the USA gave birth to the baby. Surrogacy is forbidden in Germany. This causes many arguments in politics.
Some experts want new laws now. Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf wants to allow surrogacy. She says: Women must decide for themselves. Armin Laschet from the party CDU disagrees. He criticizes the lawyer very strongly.
The Ethics Council also talks about this. The leader Helmut Frister wants an open talk. Many couples go to other countries for a baby. This costs a lot of money. It costs up to 174.000 Euro in foreign clinics. Frister calls the behavior of the people hypocritical.
The party Greens want to talk in the parliament. They want to talk about modern medicine for children. The party CDU searches for a new leader now. Alexander Dobrindt could become the new leader.
