Canadian surrogate mothers refusing to carry Israeli babies

At least two Canadian agencies that help individuals and couples find surrogate mothers say none of their surrogates will work with Israeli clients.

Some of the women object to Israel ’s invasion of the Gaza strip , which has left tens of thousands of Palestinian men, women and children dead.

Others say they don’t oppose matching with Israeli individuals, but worry about sending the baby they birthed back to a region wracked by violence.

Surrogates are reimbursed for expenses but can’t be paid fees like their American counterparts.

Unlike in the U.S. and some other countries, the law in Canada stipulates that surrogacy be carried out on an altruistic basis, not as a commercial transaction.

Many Canadian surrogates see the baby and the intended parents as a sort of extended family.
