Weird Duk wrote that in his opinion, surrogacy should be discussed at talk show tables without harsh accusations of homophobia. He stated that Italy had the strictest legislation in Europe: surrogacy had been banned there since 2004, and the Meloni government had tightened the law at the end of 2024. According to him, Italians who used surrogacy in countries like the US or Canada could be prosecuted upon their return. He cited possible penalties of three months to two years in prison and fines ranging from €600,000 to €1,000,000. Regarding Germany, Duk wrote that all forms of surrogacy were prohibited under the Embryo Protection Act. According to him, the law targeted doctors and intermediaries so that intended parents would not be prosecuted criminally. #draagmoederschap #homofobie #wetgeving (translated)
