Abstract
This dissertation is mostly a conceptual or normative project arguing that commercial surrogacy should be permissible in South Africa. I defend this claim using African-inspired principlism, emphasising principles of respect for persons and living in harmonious relationships. This is achieved through valuing relationships within communities and respecting people by respecting their autonomous decision-making capacities. It is also achieved by recognising the interconnectedness of people and that a person is a person through other people, which is called Ubuntu
