La trampa de la diversidad (familiar) como estrategia legitimadora de la explotación reproductiva

Abstract

Surrogacy has been presented as the only way to ensure genetically own offspring to homosexual male couples. In this sense, a part of the male homosexual collective has assumed as its own the vindication of legalizing "surrogacy" under the alleged right to paternity and to found a family on equal terms with respect to heterosexual couples. Therefore, this part of this group has argued that a position against "surrogacy" is unfair because it implies discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation. This article will discuss whether this claim is ethically acceptable or whether, on the contrary, it is rejectable because it does not take into account that this practice may involve the reproductive exploitation of women and the commodification of children.
