@BigBadWolframio you know, you brought up a few points that I hadn't even considered. I really appreciate you doing that. I was considering more of the idealized situation of a caring single woman who's not necessarily poor, and another couple seeking a child, here in the us. I'm sure it's not ideal even here. I don't know much about the state of surrogacy within the states, but I'm sure there are plenty of issues with how it's practiced here. But you bring up really good points about how poor women may be targeted by wealthier usually white couples, and pressured or end up feeling pressured into doing something she doesn't really wish to do other than for the fact, of her desperate financial situation. I could certainly see where the agreement could become exploitative in that case. I don't know if I would call it necessarily buying a baby, although I can certainly see why it could be seem that way, but my understanding is that the money that changes hands is just to ensure that the pregnancy is healthy and that the woman carrying the child has what she needs during the process.
I don't know how many wealthy people currently live on the island of cuba. It would be interesting to read the entire text of the provisions on surrogacy under the new law.
As long as it's fully consensual by the woman carrying the child I would consider her exploited and I'm not sure if it would really qualify as child trafficking, although I even though there's money involved since both parties were consented to the arrangement, and no one is losing a child here per se, or through abduction or other nefarious means.
But I agree that the details of each laws specific provisions are very important. I don't know exactly how to prevent wealthy Western couples from perhaps misusing their privilege, to manipulate a poorer more vulnerable person perhaps a POC into agreeing to a surrogacy arrangement. I'm just not sure how to really prevent something like that. Unfortunately there's no way to prevent all forms of unethical negotiations or arrangements. I wish I had a better answer than that though because I'm sure it happens. It seems quite common that privileged White westerners will adopt from poor countries believing they're doing a good deed and giving a desperate child a much better life than they might have otherwise. It seems on balance this is a good thing, but I can see how it might be seen by the host country as insulting or perhaps undesirable, as if local citizens of that country who might want to be prospective adoptive parents and happen to be financially stable aren't good enough.
Anytime we're dealing with family arrangements and family protections under the law, it's an extremely delicate and complicated issue. I'm sure most countries are probably not doing enough to protect vulnerable citizens from potential exploitation by privileged outsiders, regarding family arrangements or not, or have provided enough
Still come on balance, the entirety of this law seems to be quite progressive and one whose time has certainly come. I haven't seen the text of it so I don't know about the specifics but from what I gather it seems to be a great social advance and an acknowledgment that all families matter and all sexualities are human, and as human have the right to build their family.
But surrogacy is indeed a very unique and delicate subject and I'm sure there's not enough protections out there for those who might wish to abuse their position in order to fulfill their dreams of the perfect family. Thanks for your response. I didn't expect to get one.

Kamala Harris, like virtually everyone else in this govt at ANY level, is a sociopath. (I live in the US). Among other corrupt uses of her power, she's been accused of keeping an innocent man on death row, someone she knew full well was innocent. I don't know if this is true or not, but it wouldn't shock me. She's a cold-hearted b8tch, just wants the power and control- has zero empathy, less than zero if that's possible- but so do 99.2% of the rest of these sociopath-spectrum tyrants esp if the courts. Its my view that the vast majority of anyone with a slight bit of power or authority, within the courts or the govt, based on my observation, research, and some first-hand experience going back a good 20+ years, and studying my history are total utter socio/psychopaths and happy to be so.
As for the solution, I don't really know. Taking them all out one by one with a great piece of steel doesn't seem possible.... very sadly. In lieu of that I guess just try to build a viable hate Left party and run out own people..... If we could ever have a chance here considering the vast majority of voters are still dumb enough to willingly choose either the red or the Blue candidates, believing their words and not their actions or voting record. We got a really brainwashed electorate here, and it's going to try to be like moving mountains to make inroads into all that. It's gonna be like trying to cut thru ice with a butter knife.

Zal-Zhurk🇷🇺 well, I don't know about that. We need shorthand terms. Most people have a basic understanding of of what left-right means in relation to politics. Even the normies can grasp it.
I guess you can say I'm a bit of a quasi-anarchist. Most of the State is unnecessary or vile, that much is clear. There's a need for some public management, and a limited amount of on-call security who's ONLY function is to assist citizens when requested or other genuine emergencies as necessary, and what I would call a limited number of humane facilities for proven actual offenders, mostly violent; but that's far from what I see around me where I live. Economically we need major shifts, to say the least.
The US govt body, in my current view from one who lives here, is nothing but a savage, sadistic, sociopath-filled corporatocratic oligarchy which delights in arbitrary domestic mass detention and maintains the only known currently functioning concentration camp in Guantanamo. These people ARE a WMD.
I hope we can make at least SOME inroads into dismantling that in my lifetime. I got 60 more years if I'm very lucky, probably more like 50.

Zal-Zhurk🇮🇷 I agree the US has committed crimes there. That is beyond dispute. I'm sure they're planning more interference as we speak. You were probably right... . until your last sentence.
All islamists are extremists and filth who abuse and oppress women.
The vile Iranian Gestapo DID kill that one girl who was protesting the violation and degradation of her human rights. She's dead- her head bashed in. Her crime??? SHE REFUSED TO DENY HER HUMANITY AND RIGHT TO BE TREATED EQUALLY- SHE TOOK OFF HER HEADSCARF, A SYMPTOM OF OPPRESSION AND SUBJECTION- AND BURNED IT!!! BRAVO TO THIS BRAVE YOUNG GIRL, young enough to be my daughter. She said NO! NO MORE!!!! THAT'S courage. At her age I had no CLUE about protests- because I didn't have to. Yeah (govt and some people within) the US are evil for other reasons- but I have NEVER been oppressed or harmed here because of my GENDER. NEVER!!
You lack knowledge and awareness. Two wrong things could be happening at the same time. I hate my govt, but this one time, I won't criticize their efforts if it removes the hate-filled wackjob sick-minded Stone Age islamists.
IT IS BECAUSE OF THEM WOMEN HAVE NO RIGHTS IN IRAN AND CAN'T WEAR NORMAL CLOTHING!!!! ISLAMISTS HATE WOMEN AND SEE THEM AS LESS THAN HUMAN. THEY OBEY SATAN, AND DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO MAKE WOMEN SLAVES.
THERE SHOULD BE NO RELIGION IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE. EVER! I have no problem with most religious beliefs, but to allow them to ever impact government is outrageous!! Without a light-years wide line between CHURCH and STATE, fundamentalists TYRANTS will never stop trying to destroy freedom, civilization, human rights and liberty but turning society into their own personal Handmaid's Tale or other theocratic hellhole- like what the Taliban did and ate doing again in Afghanistan right now. What the religious fundamentalist rat fucks are working overtime to do and to an extent are doing in half of this country and desperately trying to grab the other half.
Allowing religious would-be tyrant-filth to have ANY influence on public policy is a betrayal of EVERYTHING necessary to have a civilized society. FUNDAMENTALIST PSYCHOPATHS HAVE NO RIGHT TO INFLUENCE PUBLIC DIALOGUE!! ZERO!! They MUST be suppressed if not eliminated of they try to make inroads. They have NO right to subjugate others to their bizarre views!
I cannot believe to this day the islamists barbarians haven't been driven from the government. 43 years of dealing with these savages.
Well. We will help them then. Normally it's absolutely wrong to interfere in another nations affairs, esp for reasons Washington uses, my govt is scum too. They were wrong and amoral to do what they did in 1953 in Iran. But you know what??? Forty-three years of oppression and abrogation of human rights by these pieces of shit. I'd say enough is enough.
If and when they're gone, and hopefully sooner rather than later, perhaps then women will FINALLY get their human rights back that religious extremists stole 43 years ago. My govt is full of evildoers and they aren't getting involved for altruistic reasons. I know full well who they are, and their motives are always destructive. But in this case, even a no-good thug can do the right thing for the wrong reason. Think of a sex trafficker who lets his victims go; not because he's realized the evil of what he's done, but because he's worried about getting caught, or bec his contact didn't come through. He's still a psychopath, but that doesn't make the victims any less free. Sometimes the right thing can happen for the wrong reason.
Recently a young female protestor was brutally murdered by an animal who was part of the Orwellian 7th century monster who is part of the "morality police", and he did this for the great crime of protesting for her human rights and against the law requiring headscarves. She was brave and she did a hero. Now she will be a martyr for other freedom-fighters within Iran.
Islamists like the Iranian hardliners/extremists want the world to be savage, barbaric, like they are, violent to women, like the animals they are, and most of all, they want women to be SLAVES. They want to live in the Stone Age, like savages. It is up to the rest of US who are not savages to "educate" them as to their error. This is a battle of conscience, civilization and TRUE morality, one that recognizes the human rights of ALL people, against ANIMALS who hate the fact (for some irrational reason- maybe they're all repressed homos) that we live in a bi-gendered society!!
There are still some revolting ANIMALS on this planet that for some reason still deny they fact that we are ALL equal and every living human being on this PLANET deserves human motherfcking rights, and that really makes me sick!! So for whatever crimes the western imperialist forces are about to commit or are currently working on, that's wrong. But if that pushes the islamist scum out of power in that country once and for all, than that's a very very GOOD thing.
