I shouldn't do that. I cursed too much.

I just finished the video search about the topic of（...的主题） surrogacy. I am going to make a new series of（...系列的） videos about this topic. I spent the first draft back two years ago. I found one magazine, Elle（时尚杂志（书名））; I would like to know if I pronounced it right. There is a video named She's Having My Baby: the Complicated Business of Surrogacy in America. And there are a lot of comments on that. That was four years ago.

Someone commented that "Surrogacy（代孕） is a blessing for me." And there is one particular person who said that she completed a commercial surrogacy（商业代孕） deal in Ukraine.

Many girls commented on this video that surrogacy seems like a good option.

And someone said that "I think 2000 euros is too much for the compensation."

You know what? You are exploiting（剥削） others, and you think that that's too expensive? And you think that is a blessing? What are you thinking about?

I know that's none of my business. Surrogacy is illegal in China. But not technically. I am going to explain this in other videos.

But the news about Ukraine. These women are suffering for money to conceive（受孕） for someone else. They are suffering. And you think it's too much to pay them. And you think that's a blessing for you. You could pay others to have your children.

This world is crazy; I know that the world is insane. But I don't remember that insane so profoundly（严重地；完全地）.

I searched a lot of news, Chinese news, American news, and other international news. And those comments make me feel disgusting.

Some people will put stickers advertising commercial surrogacy in hospital toilets. There were some comments say that"I can't have children; surrogacy helped me a lot." Or "I'm pretty neutral（中立的） on the matter. I do not approve of it or reject it altogether. My child was born through commercial surrogacy."

The truth is that you are crazy and selfish; you just find excuses for yourself.

American clients certainly feel that foreign commercial surrogacy is very good. Because these people are not Ukrainian commercial surrogate mothers but middle-class Americans. They went to Ukraine to rob poor and desperate Ukrainian women. That country was regarded as a European brothel and a European womb.

Commercial surrogacy is legal in several states in the United States, and there is relatively complete legislation(法律) on this issue.

I infer（推断） that some Americans do not conduct commercial surrogacy in their own country are due to (but not limited to) the following reasons.

1. They are not eligible（符合条件的） for commercial surrogacy

2. Commercial surrogacy is not legal in their state

3. They cannot find a suitable surrogate mother locally

4. They do not have enough budget

They cannot afford a national surrogate, so they go to Ukraine to conduct that. Wouldn't it be nice to spend $50,000 less? And they also only need to pay 250 euros per month to compensate the surrogate mother (even less money to surrogate mothers in other countries).

It does not matter if the child has any problem because the child born in a foreign country does not have American citizenship, so it is easy to abandon them.

Surrogacy agencies are, of course, concerned with the interests of their clients. Because it only needs to give 1/3 of the profit (or even less) to the surrogate mother and inject three embryos into the pregnant mother at a time, this is a high medical risk for the surrogate mother.

Furthermore, if surrogacy surgery fails, the agency could give up this deal without any responsibility to the mother. The medical environment the agency provides is like a pigsty（猪圈）, and they are not responsible for the surrogate mother's health. The agency could also refuse to pay or give those women a salary below their loss.

Commercial surrogacy agencies in developing countries are lucrative without any legal risk if they have a cunning legal department.

It’s unbelievable and insanely naive（天真的） these people from developed countries really think that surrogacy agencies care about strangers.They are deluding（自欺欺人） themself. If surrogate companies do not think they are profitable（有利可图）, they mean nothing to them.

Those people who support commercial surrogacy. They are too hypocritical（伪善的） to admit that they are obsessed with passing their genes, so they cannot choose adoption（领养）.

This is ELLE's official account on mainstream video platforms（主流视频平台）, with 2.32 million subscribers. It is a fashion magazine read by thousands of female readers worldwide. Do they even realize they are posting things poisoning their targeted female readers?

Or this only means a promotional stunt（宣传噱头）, a business for them?

This is the consequence of legalizing commercial surrogacy. Everything turns into campaigns and ads, plus some unscrupulous（无耻之徒；不道德的） businessmen stepping on the flesh and blood of people experiencing poverty, which is inhumane.

 

补充内容-中文版

作为客户的美国人当然会对国外的商业代孕很满意。因为ta们是大部分美国中产阶级白人，而不是无路可退的乌克兰代孕母亲。这些人跑去乌克兰去劫掠贫穷绝望的乌克兰女人，而那个国家不仅被视为欧洲妓院也是被称作欧洲子宫。

美国本土几个州商业代孕都合法，并且就此有相对完善的法律。我推断（评论者）不在美国本土做商业代孕的出于（但不仅限于）以下几个原因：
1.美国买方家庭不符合所在州商业代孕的条件
2.美国买方家庭所在的州商业代孕不合法
3.美国买方家庭无法找到满意的代孕母亲
3.美国买方家庭预算不足

买方无法承受国内商业代孕的价格，于是到乌克兰进行交易。

在乌克兰商业代孕的支出会比美国低整整五万美元。除了交费外，买家只用给代孕母亲250欧元作为补偿（如果在其他国家，例如印度或者中国，甚至会给的更少）。孩子出问题了也没关系，因为它们没有美国国籍，所以抛弃它们轻而易举。

商业代孕机构当然关注客户的利益，机构只需要拿出三分之一的利润（甚至更少）给代孕母亲，这些女人的薪水远远低于她们应得的。机构提供的医疗环境像个猪圈，对代孕母亲的健康视若无物。代孕过程中机构为了提高手术成功的几率可以一次给孕母注射三个胚胎，这意味极高的医疗风险。而如果手术失败，机构可以放弃代孕母亲。

发展中国家的商业代孕机构只要有足够精明的团队就可以一本万利。

发达国家的客户对外国商业代孕机构的赞美简直不可思议。“机构十分在乎我的利益”这一想法也惊人的天真，甚至可以说是自欺欺人。如果不是中介机构认为ta们有利可图，那于机构而言，这些支持商业代孕的人不过是为舆论造势的工具。

伪善的的利益既得者无法城市地面对自己的本性——他们太在乎基因的传承以至于无法选择领养。

ELLE作为在世界各地拥有无数年轻女性读者的时尚杂志，它选择将这个视频发表在拥有232万观众的主流视频平台的官方账号上，它们明白自己是毒害自己的目标读者吗？还是它们认为“商业代孕”可以被作为噱头，可以因其市场潜力而被大力宣传？

这就是商业代孕合法化的后果：一切都可以被视为宣传和广告，再借助部分道德沦丧且利字当头的生意人，就可以转变为对穷人血肉的合理剥削。
