Testimonio Olivia Maurel
Speech given at a conference in the Czech Republic parliament.

The matter is, are children to be made by order, and sold on the whim of individuals? Does a woman have to be exploited at the whim of individuals? Surrogacy and egg donation is exploitation of women and commodification of minors. That's really the matter.

Too few "I", considering that children are the only ones who are not taken into account in commercial contracts that bind surrogate mother, husband, and buyers. Children have human rights from birth, human rights that are taken away from them in surrogacy. The right to know their origins, the right not to be traded, bought or sold, rights that are violated as soon as they are born. It's much longer, but you know perfectly.
