Italy makes surrogacy an universal crime

So...if God didn't give you any children, you must respect His will. And move on.

What has your god to do with more than 2/3 of the worlds population who don't believe in your god?

Why respect the bronze age story an evil genocideal rapist?

This is yet another christian belief forced into law.

Sorry but if i wanted children i would do what is necessary to have children (and i did). Your selfish opinion is of no nevermind

You don't need a doctor for an artificial insemination...btw.
You don't need a dentist to pull a tooth,
but it's a darn good idea. I advise doing
some basic reading before making
pronouncements about things you've
no experience with.
Also useful...

You believe that infertility is imposed by your God.
Why do you believe that this should be imposed
upon people who don't share your particular religion?
Okay...you don't believe in God.
Do you believe in Mother Earth at least?
Mother Nature, also known as.

There are Pantheists who believe that sterile couples and homosexuals exist because Mother Nature is trying to defend herself from overpopulation, because...you know...too many people on Earth.
That is why the number of sterile people and homosexuals is on the rise...lately. It's Nature who is defending herself.

By making children despite everything is against Mother Earth's will.

What sane adult does believe
in fairy tales, eh.

I call it just "Earth".

Same for "nature".

Public policy shouldn't be based upon woo-woo,
silly whims, superstition, & childish fantasies.
Especially when you seek to impose onerous
restrictions upon the unwilling using threats
of violence.

No...I just say that there is a legal and state-monitored procedure called adoption.

It was already a crime in Italy, now it forbids people from doing it abroad too :
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italy-makes-it-illegal-seek-surrogacy-abroad-2024-10-16/

In the country the practice is also despised and nicknamed as "uterus for rent" to highlight how certain women are disposed to rent their own motherhood , as if babies were things to sell.

I applaud this decision. I mean... I think that couples that cannot have children should grow up and become adults.
You become an adult when you understand that sacrifice and renounce give you wisdom and strength.
So...if God didn't give you any children, you must respect His will. And move on.

Thoughts? ;)
Be as merciless as possible.

Yeah this is very sad indeed.

I don't see the problem at all. If it doesn't hurt anyone and done correctly, it can make someone very, very happy. Children have been the best thing in my life.

Why do you care what other people do in the privacy of their own life?

People who oppose surrogacy should grow up and become adults.

Screams of jealously and insecurity to me.

I think it's a horrendous, decision forced by the religious right.

Hey madam, i grew up before you were born so why the insults about something you will never understand?

Actually you become adult when you aquire the responsibility to be adult. And realise that not everyone wants to be fascist.
It seems your government and its supporters haven't found that responsibility yet.

Who's god? Yours? Like i said religion forcing its will, it's pathetic that some so called adults don't realise that their faith isn't the only parh.

It's a disgusting law and your excuse for it is just as bad.

If a woman wants to carry out a pregnancy for someone else -for whatever reason- and all is done with consent, then who the F are you (or the state) to tell them they can't?

What is the alternative?
Since the State taxes everything, it should come up with a law regulating surrogate pregnancy?
Something like a price list? Male baby = 20,000 euros...Female baby...10,000 euros...twins 40,000 euros?

Come on.... babies are not things to sell or buy.

The alternative is you (and the state) minding your own business. :shrug:

No babies are being purchased or sold with surrogacy.

The EU is filled with technocrats who don't mind their own business, when it deals with our budget package.
They impose on us rules.

Incoherence and hypocrisy much...eh? ;)

I can assure you that a gay politician from Italy paid money.

Sure, start talking about something else in yet another what-about-ism deflection.
What I meant is that you think that the State exists only to control economy... as if society and demography were something private.

Are you implying that the State is a sewer made up of bankers?
Because that's what the commoners think of the EU. A sewer. .)
Not to "buy" a baby.
There is adoption. Completely free.
