“The concept of surrogacy, which opens up to a market of children, should be better explained. There are international fairs, one was also tried in Milan. But in Italy not only surrogacy but also its propaganda is prohibited” . This was stated by the Minister for Equal Opportunities and the family, Eugenia Roccella, during Mezz’Ora in Più on Rai3. “A surrogacy – he continues – costs around 100,000 euros and women get around 15-20,000 euros. With the adoption we remedy a damage, with the surrogacy instead we plan one”. “We are going back, not going forward – concludes the minister -. We are reaching forms of commodification and slavery of the female body. This is not a front of progress. On the one hand, oocytes are bought, from brochures, catalogues, beautiful, tall women, of a certain religion and with a different IQ. On the other hand, there are women who lend their uterus with very different characteristics”.
