The surrogates against a "third party": "Why again present this issue in a negative light?" | Israel today

After the premiere episode of Keshet 12's talked-about drama series, members of various surrogacy groups gathered on the network and expressed their resentment and sharp criticism of the program's treatment and representation of the surrogate mother's character


The surrogacy groups against the televised surrogate:

yesterday (Monday) the first episode of the series "Third Body" was broadcast on Bequest 12, the center of which is the plot of Eli and Ido, a couple who are having trouble getting pregnant (played by Rotem Sela and Yehuda Levy) and are assisted by the services of the surrogate Chen (played by Gal Malka).

Chen is presented as someone who chose to be a surrogate because of her financial situation, as a single mother who needs money.

Many viewers, who really did not connect with the presentation of the charged topic in this way in prime time, chose to express their displeasure and bring it to the network.

Immediately after the end of the series, a flood of angry reactions began in various groups in the field of surrogacy, where their members, including couples who used the services of a surrogate as well as surrogates themselves, expressed their opinion on the premiere episode.

According to them, the surrogate character in the series is outdated and represents the field as it was interpreted in the past, as the exploitation of disadvantaged populations that need money.

Today, they explain, many of the surrogates are educated mothers who carry out the process for altruistic reasons, out of a sense of mission to help couples who cannot have children on their own.

One of the surfers wrote in the group: "I was very disturbed by the stereotypical figure of the surrogate".

"What an annoying series. Why again present the world of surrogacy in a negative light?", asked someone else in the group.

A surfer, who was helped by a surrogate, stated: "I saw, I was offended on our behalf and also on behalf of our surrogate."

Another surfer wrote in "Surrogacy - The Open Group": "It reflects an existing reality mainly from the past, less and less from today. But a series that one surrogate chooses to follow can choose a different example in my eyes. Not necessarily the most problematic."

One of the men in the group also shared his feeling: "Like a punch to the stomach. Speaking of a destined father who saw his wife suffer... until the angelic surrogate came to fulfill our dream of becoming a family... I understood that it would go in this direction that existed in the past and today is no longer reliable. There is a committee And more serious tests, at least from what I've experienced. It's a shame that this is how the surrogate is presented and I hope they fix it."
