From Ukraine, the Disneyland of pregnancy for others, comes the latest stroke of marketing genius: a Black Friday for couples who are waiting for an incentive to go and find a criminal lab outside their borders, where the laws are bent to the logic of the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avvenire.it\/opinioni\/pagine\/black-friday-bebe-sul-banco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">editorial in <em>Avvenire<\/em><\/a> by Antonella Mariani described a gruesome situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Kiev\u2013as in half of the city capitals of Europe\u2013there is a center specialized in assisted reproduction and surrogacy called BioTexCom. During the lockdown of 2020, it placed over 60 children born to surrogate mothers in a hotel, waiting to sell them.

And quietly, so. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No rioting in the streets, no protests&#8230; nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How long can our civilization continue to slaughter itself like this before an ocean drowns us all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How long?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A &#8220;Black Friday&#8221; for surrogate moms.
