• In Event: Legitimizing and delegitimizing ways of seeing babies and motherhood

Abstract

With rising numbers of people facing challenges with reproductive health and a rapidly
changing Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) science, there is increased opportunity
for new ways to have a child. This paper examines the rhetoric of one such option –
international surrogacy -by examining the narrative through which the option is framed and
presented on the website for International Surrogacy Partners.
