Like many areas of reproductive technology, surrogacy is subject to various ethical debates. However, analysts should strive to inform those debates with a clear picture of surrogacy’s risks and rewards. Given that gestational surrogacy results in the creation of a new person, any suggestion to restrict or limit gestational surrogacy should not be undertaken lightly.

For some parents, surrogacy makes having a child possible. Whether or not a couple utilizes surrogacy, US access to the practice keeps hope alive for both domestic and international couples pursuing fertility treatment.

Of course, creating new life has never been a risk‐​free endeavor. However, despite concerns raised by critics, evidence supports the idea that long‐​term outcomes for both gestational carriers and resulting children are predominantly positive.

Critiques do not reflect the relevant body of research, and critics minimize the substantial value of creating life.
