I would have said it was a generous and thoughtful act of kindness on the part of a surrogate mother 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 I believe in the unity of marriage and the idea of ​​becoming one. After reading Cahill's argument about surrogacy and thinking about my own moral values, I immediately took a stand to agree with her. I believe that when it comes to a child, the best interests of the child 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 have the child's best interests in mind when making choices about their child's life. A surrogate mother may do this as an act of kindness, and this may 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 to carry my child, nor would I be a surrogate 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 seen as a commodity. I completely agree with Cahill that a binding moral obligation accompanies certain choices, even if we didn't choose them in the first place..
