  1. This is a really interesting topic that I never really thought about until now. I am glad that you made an infographic about it. You did a great job making it easy to understand and portraying both sides of the argument! I would have never thought that surrogacy and globalization were related, but thanks to you, now I know!

  2. I believe this was a really innovative idea that you are bringing up – it shed light on a topic that so often is tied to emotion. I honesty never really put a price tag on the idea of surrogacy, so this really opened my eyes. It really makes you question whether globalization has put a price tag on everything.

  3. This infographic was easy to understand as well as interesting to learn about. I like the contrast between the opposition and the support. I think drawing connections between 3rd wave Western feminism and the desire for autonomy when it comes to women’s bodies and sexual expression v the commodification of women’s bodies that often happens to marginalized communities of women would be interesting as well.

  4. I really enjoyed this infographic and thought you chose a really interesting topic. It was very informational and easy to understand. It was interesting to see the different sides of surrogacy, as well as studying the costs behind it (which is usually not something I would think about). It was very shocking to see the difference in cost between surrogacy in the US vs. Thailand/India. I also really enjoyed the quotes in your exploitation vs. opportunity section. This made the subject more personal and helped think about issues I otherwise wouldn’t with this topic.
    Great job!

  5. This was such a good idea for a topic. I never would have thought of it. I liked the connection you made to the transnational families and the maquiladoras how they really would do anything for their family. I don’t know if I would have related surrogacy to those ideas and it was really eye opening!

  6. I really enjoyed reading this infographic because I did not realize that this was an issue happening in India and Thailand. I like how you left quotes in response to surrogate mothers versus the individuals that choose to have these surrogate mothers carry their baby – so much controversy. This was great and easy to follow.
