Pope Francis calls for universal ban on surrogacy

Pope Francis calls for a universal ban on surrogate motherhood, labeling it "despicable" and highlighting the "commercialization" of pregnancy in his annual speech on global threats to peace and human dignity. In his address to ambassadors, the Pope expressed concern over various global issues, including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, migration, climate crises, and the production of nuclear weapons. He specifically condemned surrogate motherhood as a serious violation of the dignity of women and children, calling for a global ban on the practice. This stance aligns with the Catholic Church's opposition to surrogacy, which is already prohibited in some European countries such as Spain and Italy.
