@dailyeconomy8 Video: Pope Leo XIV slams surrogacy as grave assault on child, woman, family dignity Pope Leo XIV, has issued a forceful condemnation of surrogacy on Saturday, labeling it a profound violation of human dignity that commodifies children and exploits women. In his remarks, the Pontiff argued that surrogacy turns gestation into a mere commercial service, reducing the child to an object of production while instrumentalising the woman’s body and the sacred process of human generation. He further warned that the practice fundamentally distorts the relational essence of the family, eroding its moral and anthropological foundations. The Pope’s stance reaffirms the Catholic Church’s long-held ethical opposition to surrogacy, rooted in the defense of human dignity, life, and traditional family structures.
