Italy's prime minister criticizes surrogate parenthood as an 'inhuman' practice and calls for a bill to prosecute those who go abroad for it.
ROME — Surrogate parenthood is an “inhuman” practice that treats children as “supermarket products,” Italy ’s prime minister said on Friday, urging parliament to pass a bill to prosecute those who go abroad for it. Parenting via surrogacy is already illegal in Italy , punishable with jail and fines, but the right-wing coalition of Giorgia Meloni has vowed to impose an even stricter ban on it as part of its conservative agenda .
“I still consider the practice of uterus renting to be inhuman, I support the proposed law making it a universal crime.” The Italian parliament is discussing a bill drafted by Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party to prohibit Italians from having a baby in countries where surrogacy is legal — such as the United States and Canada. The party’s position echoes the Vatican’s.
