AB - There is no law or legal guidelines about surrogacy in Korea. Peoples' opinions on surrogacy are mixed. According to statistics, about 80% of the Koreans in Korea are against it, but still about 20% of the Korean population are in favor of it. This 20% of Koreans say that they would choose surrogacy in order to ensure they have a baby who inherits their own genes if they were otherwise incapable of pregnancy. About 43,000 babies were born through surrogacy in Korea in 2005. But there are so many ethical and legal issues related to surrogacy. Examples of these issues include the difficulty of judging parental rights, the danger of the destruction of kinship structure, exploitation of the right of the surrogate mother, acquisition of babies by way of monetary dealing, colonialization of the womb, production and destruction of embryos, eugenic tests of the embryos, and the production of designed babies. This article will focuss on analysing these issues and suggest ways to solve these problems.
