摘要

代孕是组建家庭所需的生殖技术之一,但在印度,代孕母亲却受到不道德的待遇和不平衡的权力关系。这种待遇掩盖了妇女的自由决策权,并可能损害她们作为母亲的自我。最近,《2021年代孕(监管)法》获得了总统的批准,通过出于利他主义动机限制代孕行为来监管代孕行为,这再次引发了关于生殖技术、妇女解放和生殖劳动的激烈辩论。因此,本文探讨了印度社会中妇女的代理权、母性自由和代孕安排。分析了法律实施的复杂性、代孕劳动的脆弱性、妇女的身体自主性和生育选择。这是通过对母亲经历的全面女权主义讨论,从强制与自愿的角度来实现的,以找到在“作为赋权的母亲”的任务中保护妇女自由和主体性的方法。

Negotiating ‘Surrogate Mothering’ and Women’s Freedom

Surrogacy is one of the desired reproductive technologies for family formation, yet surrogate mothers are subjected to unethical treatments and unbalanced power relations in India. Such treatment obscures women’s free decision-making and can be detrimental to their maternal self. Recently, the Surrogacy (Regulation) Act, 2021, has received the President’s approval to regulate surrogacy practices by limiting them for the altruistic motives which have again provoked the burning debates regarding reproductive technologies, women’s emancipation and procreative labour. The paper thus explores women’s agency, maternal freedom and surrogate arrangements in Indian society. The complexity of the implementation of the law, vulnerability of surrogate labour, woman’s bodily autonomy and reproductive choices have been analysed. This has been done through comprehensive feminist discussions on motherhood experience in terms of enforced vs. voluntary to find the way to protect women’s freedom and subjectivity in the task of ‘mothering as empowerment’.

期刊介绍: Asian Bioethics Review (ABR) is an international academic journal, based in Asia, providing a forum to express and exchange original ideas on all aspects of bioethics, especially those relevant to the region. Published quarterly, the journal seeks to promote collaborative research among scholars in Asia or with an interest in Asia, as well as multi-cultural and multi-disciplinary bioethical studies more generally. It will appeal to all working on bioethical issues in biomedicine, healthcare, caregiving and patient support, genetics, law and governance, health systems and policy, science studies and research. ABR provides analyses, perspectives and insights into new approaches in bioethics, recent changes in biomedical law and policy, developments in capacity building and professional training, and voices or essays from a student’s perspective. The journal includes articles, research studies, target articles, case evaluations and commentaries. It also publishes book reviews and correspondence to the editor. ABR welcomes original papers from all countries, particularly those that relate to Asia. ABR is the flagship publication of the Centre for Biomedical Ethics, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore. The Centre for Biomedical Ethics is a collaborating centre on bioethics of the World Health Organization.
