"[Offering one's body, even if for financial compensation, to donate a child to someone who cannot have it independently, is it not an act of freedom?] If done with love, why not? The world changes, new realities, new needs arise. I consider the desire for motherhood or fatherhood to be legitimate. And beautiful too. It is not an act of selfishness: there is the desire, very human and ancient, to prolong life, to find those who will continue to follow our path after us, to take care of and grow a new creature that will have something of us, despite being autonomous."
