I have been very curious over this topic for the last week now and what I have discovered is that this is a very tough question for Christians to answer:

What are your thoughts on surrogate motherhood from a biblical and moral perspective?

God Bless you

Theophilus

Interestingly , the bible does have something to say about surrgate mothering.
While God didn't punish those involved directly. But there were some serious conciquences that effected all of life since.
But it also makes avery good point concerning the situation it causes and the consiquences of such an act. Very important to take note of is how Sarai changed after Hagar bore Abram a child.

She didn't handle it very well did she????? There are emotions and situations that no one can know how they will react to until it's too late.
Desire for a child quickly became hatred and jelousy once Tabar conceived and had the child that Sarai couldn't.
And then theres the the being together of Abram and Tabar ???
