Surrogacy

Your editorial “Kramer vs. Kramer vs. Somebody Else” (April 22) brings to light the increased number of players in the messy surrogate battles facing our extremely backlogged court systems.

Surrogacy has been trouble for our courts from the beginning. The fight for custody in any case is unfair because of the age of the “victim,” the child, and because the child cannot state his/her opinion.

There is a simple solution to the whole problem: either outlaw surrogacy or enforce the irrevocability of the surrogate contract.
