Now, Mr Coffey, in his first reading speech, did say that this is not a gay issue, and it's not. It's not a straight issue either. There are a multitude of reasons why a person might seek the support of a surrogate. The reasons for infertility, for example, are many, and are often the cause of great distress. Having worked, myself, with people who are experiencing loss after sad loss in their attempt to complete their family, I've seen the benefits that the use of a surrogate can bring. Some women may not have a uterus; for some, pregnancy might be dangerous; or, yes, like my colleague Mr Coffey and his husband, they may be a same-sex couple who seek the support of a surrogate.
