Surogat majčinstvo u neoliberalnoj Srbiji: da li Afroamerikanka može da rodi dete iz Srbije?

Abstract

Summary: News about possible decriminalization of surrogate motherhood in Serbia initiated controversial public discussions. Th e article presents three dominant discourses that have been created over the surrogacy: “nationalistic” discourse, which is dominant in the Serbian population politics; “human rights” discourse that interprets surrogacy in line with Article 63 of the Serbian Constitution and right to parenthood; and one of the radical feminist discourse, which understands surrogacy as one of the most extreme forms of violence against women. Th ough, the article argues that decriminalization of surrogate motherhood should be seen as an opportunity to challenge the conservative, right-wing narrative about a traditional, fi nancially self-susta-inable family which, in neoliberal system, provides care for its members, and releases the state of its responsibility to fi nance and implements social welfare policies.
