     If the reproductive right is interpreted as basic rights of one individual in contrast to the right to life of another, especially that of a defenseless unborn baby, it raises certain fundamental moral questions.

   • 2018, Sheela Saravanan, A Transnational Feminist View of Surrogacy Biomarkets in India, Singapore: Springer, →ISBN, →OCLC, page 174, →ISBN:

     When this reproductive right extends to a control over someone else's body it is an intrusion into another person's body to have children. […] Surrogacy practice involves a control of another human being's body to fulfil one's own reproductive desires and this procedure violates another person's human dignity and reproductive rights.
