Her Theology
Surrogacy Law Reform, Human Rights & Commercial Surrogacy in Australia with Elisabeth Taylor
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Australia’s surrogacy laws may be about to change, and most people have no idea what’s happening.
In this episode of Her Theology, I’m joined by researcher Elisabeth Taylor to unpack Australia’s current surrogacy laws, the proposed reforms currently being considered, and the serious ethical concerns surrounding commercial surrogacy, reproductive technology, human rights, women, and children.
We discuss:
- the difference between altruistic and commercial surrogacy
- the Australian Law Reform Commission review
- “compensated” surrogacy proposals
- international surrogacy and trafficking concerns
- exploitation risks for women
- the rights and welfare of children
- human rights obligations
- the growing commercial fertility industry
- and how Christians should think ethically about surrogacy.
This conversation goes far beyond politics or legal reform. It raises much deeper questions about family, motherhood, technology, contracts, dignity, and what happens when reproduction becomes increasingly commercialised.
Whether you’re completely new to this topic or already following the debate, this episode will help you understand what is currently being proposed in Australia and why many people are deeply concerned about the direction things are heading.
