The detractor will state that surrogacy should be illegal because it is immoral, its cost is prohibitive to most, and will even compare it to the sale of a child. Each of these objections to surrogacy are baseless when analyzed closely. There is nothing immoral about surrogacy. Surrogacy is even mentioned in the Bible.

This argument doesn't hold water either. Surrogates allow their bodies to be used to perform a function that is not available to a
