Pope Francis on Monday called surrogate motherhood a “despicable” practice that should be universally banned.
An unborn child must not be “turned into an object of trafficking,” Francis said.
He added, “I consider despicable the practice of so-called surrogate motherhood, which represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother’s material needs.”
A child, he said, should never be “the basis of a commercial contract,” and called for a global ban on surrogacy “to prohibit this practice universally.”
