“As a Christian ethicist and mother of two, I found Kao’s work compelling. Scripture does not provide clear moral instruction on the complex matter of surrogacy. It does witness to the importance of community….Kao admits so herself: ‘Surrogacy can serve as a metaphor for a deep truth of our Christian tradition—the caring and rearing of children was always intended to be a communal affair, not simply the task of the parents alone’ (p. 100). This is a theological and ethical idea worth pondering.”
