Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has taken a firm stance against surrogacy, labeling it as 'inhuman' and advocating for stricter penalties against the practice. Surrogacy, whether paid or unpaid, is already illegal in Italy. However, Meloni's Brothers of Italy party has proposed a bill to further criminalize surrogacy by increasing fines from €600,000 to €1 million and raising jail terms from three months to up to two years.
During a conference titled 'For a Young Europe,' Meloni reiterated her belief that surrogacy is an inhuman practice and expressed support for the bill that aims to make it a universal crime. Her views align with those of the Catholic Church, which also condemns surrogacy as a violation of the dignity of both the child and the woman involved.
