I would have said that it was a generous and thoughtful act of kindness for a surrogate to be willing to help a couple bring a child into the world. Until now I would never have thought deeply about some of the moral and ethical aspects of surrogacy. I have been married for almost four years and believe in the unity of marriage and the idea of ​​becoming one. After reading Cahill's argument on surrogacy and reflecting on my own moral values, I immediately took a stand to agree with her. I believe that when it comes to a child, his best interest should be a top priority. I am not a mother, but I am very passionate about children and find their lives so precious. Parents should always keep the child's best interests in mind when making choices regarding their child's life. A surrogate mother might do this as an act of kindness, and that might be her intention. However, I agree that surrogacy brings a dualistic element to the relationship. I know that as a married woman I would never hire a surrogate mother to give birth to my child, nor would I be a surrogate mother to carry someone else's child. I want children, but I would never want to be treated as a means to an end, and I would not want my child to be considered a commodity. I absolutely agree with Cahill that a binding moral obligation is accompanied by certain choices, even if we didn't choose them in the first place.
