Surrogate Motherhood and Infertility (with Ken Magnuson)

Infertility affects roughly 1 in 6 couples of childbearing age in the US. For those who experience it, it is a deeply painful time. One remedy for infertility is to employ a surrogate to carry a child in for the couple. It seems like a clear win-win for all involved. But there are some troubling aspects of surrogacy that are not often talked about. Join Scott as he interviews Dr. Ken Magnuson, a specialist on the ethics of reproductive technologies for this insightful conversation on the ethics of surrogacy. 

Dr. Ken Magnuson is Professor of Christian Ethics at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. He earned a Ph.D. from Cambridge University and has spoken and written widely on issues in Christian ethics.
