Dangerous Reform in Ecuador: "Sale of Children" and Womb Rentals

"We are at the National Assembly of Ecuador, where a reform is intended to be approved that would allow renting women's wombs and buying and selling children from their mother's womb, which would then receive a new designation, which would be surrogate or gestational, since she would have to deliver that child to another person or form a new family composition, as in Ecuador only adoption by opposite-sex couples is allowed. This could allow same-sex couples or even single people to have children, meaning that children would no longer be guaranteed the right to parents, but adults would have the right not only to have a child, but also to buy children. That is why today a forum was held to raise awareness among legislators and the general public so that this progressive law cannot be approved."
