Recently, Zheng Shuang's surrogacy and abandonment in the United States have continuously occupied the hot search, attracting tens of millions of netizens' verbal and written criticism
This is not only because our country explicitly prohibits surrogacy, but also because it despises and desecrates life
The law of our country has a clear stipulation on surrogacy: it is forbidden to buy or sell gametes, zygotes and embryos in any form
Medical institutions and medical personnel shall not implement any form of surrogate technology
How sacred it is to conceive offspring and continue life
However, surrogacy makes giving birth to children an exchange of interests
With life as a bargaining chip, women's wombs and babies become commodities for sale
It not only damages women's health and physically exploits women, but also harms the world and violates common ethics
The surrogacy industry is controversial and disreputable at the ethical level, but in fact, the original intention of surrogacy is to help those infertile couples and some people who have lost their independence to solve problems, which can be said to be the gospel of infertile families
Just like in Britain, Canada and other countries, only non-profit and unpaid surrogacy is allowed, and commercial surrogacy is expressly prohibited
However, nowadays, many additional benefits have already made the surrogate industry no longer simple
Take the birth of children in the United States as an example
The "birth citizenship" in the 14th Amendment to the constitution of the United States: "all people born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction are citizens of the United States and the state in which they live
" In other words, American surrogate babies can obtain American citizenship and enjoy all the rights of American citizens as soon as they are born
After the child is born, he can attend free public primary and secondary schools and have a social security number
After the child is 21 years old, parents can also apply for a U
S
green card
Because surrogacy is not illegal in some parts of the United States, many families are happy to go
In fact, in addition to surrogacy, many people also choose to go to the United States to have children
With the improvement of people's income level, parents pay more and more attention to their children's education and growth environment
Due to the citizenship right of American birth, children can obtain American citizenship at birth and enjoy all the benefits and education in the United States
Faced with this temptation, parents will inevitably move their minds to have children in the United States
According to the data, in 2019, nearly 10000 Chinese pregnant women went to the United States to have children in various ways, at least 8000 of their babies were born in the United States, and a perfect industrial chain was gradually formed to have children in the United States
Indeed, every family hopes to give their children a higher starting point in life, so that their children can have a broader future
However, the current epidemic situation in the United States is grim, and the U
S
government has also severely cracked down on the travel of pregnant women to the United States to have children, which makes the threshold and risk of having children in the United States higher and higher! 2020。 Trump issued an executive order, stipulating that all those whose purpose is to have children in the United States will be refused a visa, and strictly controlling class B visa
On July 9, two U
S
senators proposed a bill entitled "birth tourism prohibition", which will prohibit foreign citizens from going to the United States to give birth in order to enable their children to obtain U
S
citizenship
2020。 6。 The U
S
Court ruled that Chen Chao, the head of the California one month maternity center, was imprisoned for three years and one month
In just two years, the center received an international remittance of 3million dollars from China, which is known as the larger illegal one in the history of the United States
But the month child center, which swindles people's money, is far from an isolated case
In fact, parents hope to give their children better conditions within their own ability, and do not have to go to the United States
On November 3, 2020, the president of Portugal officially signed and passed the new nationality law act, giving parents in trouble a better alternative: the Act allows them to hold legal status in Portugal for one year, and their local born children can directly become Portuguese citizens
Therefore, children born in Portugal, Will have more options
Back to this topic, why did it arouse public anger? Even CCTV commented that "its disregard for life is heinous"? "Surrogacy + abandonment" has touched the bottom line of value one after another
As public figures, they ignore life and put such disordered values in full view of the public, which has played a very poor guiding role
Therefore, no matter what class we are in, we should respect life and return a pure land for reporting / feedback on the kindness and flesh and blood affection at the beginning of human life
