Debate about surrogate motherhood
152
Jens Spahn is no longer leader of the CDU. He became a father. He used a surrogate mother. This is a woman who carries a baby for others. The surrogate mother lives in the USA. This is forbidden in Germany. Many people criticize him. They talk about double moral. This means: He demands rules he does not follow himself. In the USA, many contracts exist for surrogate mothers. These contracts have strict rules. They limit the life of the woman. Critics say: The contracts use women. Surrogate motherhood is also forbidden in Austria. The government wants a worldwide ban. Some want to write this in the constitution. This is the highest law of a state. Other politicians want more rights for women. Women must decide about their own body. Great Britain also has problems. More people use surrogate mothers there. Old laws do not fit anymore. Experts want new and safe rules.
