Our awareness of surrogacy is growing as commercial surrogacy and hollywood continue to utilise this process. But what should we think about it? Is it good? Or are there aspects we aren't considering? 

In this episode I discuss all the ins and outs of surrogacy. From the process and options available through to the people it impacts (spoiler alert - it impacts everyone!). We talk through the ethical considerations, the commodity of women and children, the international concerns and the long term ramifications for us as a society.
