[...] il termine «utero in affitto» ha un connotato in sé, come termine utilizzato, offensivo, sia per la donna, che viene appunto ridotta al suo utero, sia per le persone che ritengono di poter ricorrere a questo strumento per perseguire la finalità di avere un figlio. — Maria Cecilia Guerra. As quoted in Italian Chambeer of Deputies – XVII Legislature – Stenographic record of the Assembly – Assembly session n°. 149 of January 10, 2014, p. 34
