Commodity Child, Service Mother? Ethics, Law and Reality of Surrogacy
Valere Club Evening After Hendrik Streeck, Jens Spahn – both prominent CDU politicians – has also become the father of a child via surrogacy. In Germany, this procedure is prohibited. At the invitation of the Valere Akademie, Cornelia Kaminski will discuss central questions about surrogacy with the participants: What does it mean for a child to be treated as a "contractual object" from the beginning of their existence? What "price" do the women pay who hire themselves out (or are forced to) as "surrogate mothers" carrying such a child? And how does our understanding of family, motherhood, and human dignity change when children become commodities? Moderation: Dr. jur. Fabian Ibel, Lawyer Included in the participant fee (25 EUR / 15 EUR for pupils and students): drinks and evening snacks. Please register at info@valere-acamdey. Click here for payment via Paypal. Payment in cash on site is also possible. Following the event, there will be an opportunity for further exchange of ideas in the rooftop bar of the b’mine Hotel.
