Some feminists hold that surrogacy contracts should be unenforceable or illegal because they contribute to and perpetuate unjust gender inequalities. I argue that in developed countries, surrogacy contracts either wouldn't have these negative effects or that these effects could be mitigated via regulation. Furthermore, the existence of a regulated surrogacy market is preferable on consequentialist grounds.
一些女权主义者认为代孕合同应该是不可执行或非法的，因为它们导致并延续了不公平的性别不平等。我认为，在发达国家，代孕合同要么不会产生这些负面影响，要么可以通过监管来减轻这些影响。此外，从后果主义的角度来看，存在一个受监管的代孕市场是可取的。
