The Catholic Italian Bishops’ Conference (CEI) has reiterated its opposition to surrogacy, likening the practice to renting a woman’s womb while treating the children born of surrogacy as objects.
Unlike the United States and Canada, surrogacy is far more controversial in many European countries, particularly those with traditional Catholic populations like Italy and Spain.
Populist Lega leader Matteo Salvini, who now serves as Deputy Prime Minister in the Cabinet of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, expressed his distaste for the practice in 2019, stating that surrogacy “makes me sick.”“I think womb for rent is the most squalid thing a person could propose, for a woman, for a man, for a child.”and violates the laws of the country, as it “entails damage to the best interests of the child and an exploitation of women that is unacceptable.
“Both are treated as mere objects, not as persons endowed with the dignity proper to their condition as human beings and the fundamental rights inherent in that dignity,” the court said, asserting that a child born to a surrogate is “deprived of the right to know his origins, is treated as an object of change, is ‘objectified’.”
