Liz Purslow on surrogacy health risks

Liz was a midwife for twenty years and now works as an NHS nurse. Instinctively against surrogacy – pregnancy and childbirth are a profound experience for women, emotional, physical, spiritual, painful – it changes you forever, body and mind. It is not a service to provide for others. And babies!!! They are special little individual people, not to be bought, sold or gift wrapped and handed to a best friend.

In this talk, Liz discusses the health risks to women, the implications for the NHS, dealing with complex pregnancies, and the potential for conflicts of interests and safeguarding problems.

I was wondering what your position is on single women wanting to have a family (single-mother). Do you support a right for such women to get assisted and get access to being inseminated artificially? Or rather, you would only support their right to adopt a child, but not “create”? Thanks for your response.
