This comprehensive text makes an important contribution to the
study of surrogacy, developing a novel theoretical framework
through which to understand the broader social contexts as well as
individual decisions at play within surrogacy arrangements. Drawing
on empirical research conducted by the authors and supplemented by
secondary analyses of media, legislative and public accounts of
surrogacy, the book engages with the key stakeholders involved in
the practice of surrogacy. Specifically, it canvases the
standpoints of women who act as surrogates, intending parents who
commission surrogacy arrangements, children born through surrogacy,
clinics that facilitate the arrangements, and politicians and
journalists who engage with the topic. Through a focus on
capitalism as a means of orientating ourselves to the topic of
surrogacy, the book highlights the vulnerabilities that potentially
arise in the context of surrogacy, as well as the claims to agency
invoked by some parties in order to mitigate vulnerability. In so
doing, the book demonstrates that the psychology of surrogacy must
be broadly understood as an orientation to particular ways of
thinking about children, reproduction and economies of labour.
