1. The most powerful argument against surrogacy is the fact that baby and mother& #39;s brains are biochemically linked.
Throughout pregnancy, their brains interact through the secretion of hormones.

2. Even the slightest drop in mother& #39;s blood sugar levels stimulates the baby& #39;s stress axis.
When the baby accounts for around 15% of the mother& #39;s metabolism – its blood sugar levels plummet.
It then senses that it can no longer be supported.

3. The birth process itself is a result of the relay of oxytocin between baby and mother.
There is a very real reason children generally feel more instinctual affinity towards their mothers than they do their fathers – and it is precisely a result of a 9-month neuro-symbiosis.

4. To separate mother and baby at birth? – it cannot be done without negative implications for the psychological growth of the child – and the mother.
To advocate for surrogacy because one feels it is one& #39;s due to have a child? – Narcissism.
Solution? – Adopt.
