*Abstract: *

Is surrogacy a form of legitimate work? Or does the nature of pregnancy and
parenthood render surrogacy illegitimate? In this presentation I argue that
the best strategy in defence of commercial surrogacy—which I call the
“surrogacy-as-legitimate-work” strategy—relies on two implicit assumptions
and that once we make them explicit, we are forced to see that commercial
surrogacy inevitably leads to a conflict of core moral rights. As I hope to
show, if commercial surrogacy is a type of work, it is work that cannot
simultaneously protect the right of the surrogate mother to opt out and the
right of the commissioning couple to exercise ultimate authority over the
foetus.



*Bio:*

Dr Luara Ferracioli was awarded her PhD in 2013. Before joining the
University of Sydney, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of
Oxford (from 2011-2012) and Princeton University (from 2012-2013), and an
assistant professor at the University of Amsterdam (from 2013-2017).


All are very welcome and there is no need to register. This is an in-person
event.
