  • Title: The social context for surrogates' motivations and satisfaction.
    Author: Berend Z.
    Journal: Reprod Biomed Online; 2014 Oct; 29(4):399-401. PubMed ID: 25129693.
    Abstract:
    This Commentary takes up two of the main findings by Imrie and Jadva's study, namely surrogates' satisfaction with the post-surrogacy contact with intended parents and their motivation for surrogacy. It argues that the findings are in keeping with other qualitative research on surrogacy and that this similarity is not the result of the similarity of surrogates' psychological makeup. The Commentary highlights the centrality of social meanings and definitions, and following Howard Becker, insists on taking into account the collective doings that inform and shape individual feelings and behaviour.
