surrogacy in poland

The Polska Catholic Church stands strong against the surrogate motherhood.

Surrogate motherhood has become a subject of vivid discussions in Poland recently. Recent opinion polls conducted in the country showed that the majority of the Poles approve the surrogate motherhood, although the Catholic Church vehemently opposes it.

Clergymen believe that it is not a surrogate mother, but God, whom childless people need to address with prayers.

The parliament of Poland does not seem to be able to pass the law about artificial fertilization, hesitating between the official stance of the Roman-Catholic Church and the need to help citizens of Poland.

Having another woman bear a child for a couple to raise, usually with the male half of the couple as the genetic father, is referred to in antiquity. For example, chapter 16 of the book of Genesis relates the story of Sarah's servant Hagar bearing a child to Abraham for Sarah and Abraham to raise.
