The insights shared by Nigerian lawyer Sunny Ekwuwusi regarding the legal implications and ethical concerns surrounding surrogacy and IVF in Nigeria shed light on the complexities and potential risks associated with these reproductive practices. Ekwuwusi’s warning about the illegality of surrogacy under Nigerian law, the potential for child trafficking, and the health challenges faced by women related to childbirth highlight the need for careful consideration and regulation in this area. As Nigeria grapples with high rates of childbirth-related deaths and social issues like “Baby factories,” the discussion around surrogacy and IVF underscores the importance of balancing reproductive rights with legal and ethical safeguards to protect the well-being of women and children in the country.
