In your opinion, should Surrogacy Contracts be considered an illegal subject matter for a contract?

Michigan's Surrogate Parenting Act

In Michigan, paid surrogacy has been illegal since 1988. The Surrogate Parenting Act states that gestational surrogates can only receive compensation for expenses directly related to the pregnancy. Paying a gestational surrogate any more than this is a felony, and all mentally fit parties involved in such an arrangement may be fined and/or imprisoned.

InMichigan's Surrogate Parenting Act, no exact reason is stated for the prohibition of paid surrogacy. However, the law emphasizes that it is illegal for underage girls and intellectually or developmentally disabled women to become gestational surrogates. This shows great concern for the possibility that surrogacy contracts will exploit or abuse vulnerable populations.
