In this deeply reflective episode of The Rooted Connections Podcast, we ask one challenging question “Whose womb is it?”
Together, we unpack the ethics of surrogacy, exploring whether it should be a matter of personal choice available to those who can afford it, or a last resort for families facing the pain of infertility.
As modern medicine continues to expand reproductive possibilities, we question where compassion ends and commercialisation begins.
💬 In this episode, we explore:
The changing attitudes toward infertility, from silence and shame to acceptance and empowerment.
Whether surrogacy represents freedom of choice or financial exploitation of vulnerable women.
How families struggling with infertility are sometimes emotionally and economically exploited by an industry built around hope.
The growing commercial surrogacy market and the ethics of paying for life and love.
How cultural and religious beliefs shape perceptions of surrogacy across Africa, the diaspora, and the West.
The emotional and moral complexities behind the question: Who really “owns” motherhood?
This honest and challenging conversation explores the intersection of faith, ethics, and human desire, asking whether surrogacy empowers or endangers the dignity of women and families.
