Surrogacy, Boundaries, and Bodily Autonomy: A Sister's Tough Decision

In this episode of The Red Disc Podcast, we explore a deeply personal and controversial Reddit story about a woman preparing for a medically necessary hysterectomy after her third child—only to be pressured by her sister and brother-in-law to delay the procedure and become their surrogate. When she refuses, her brother-in-law lashes out, accusing her of selfishness and ignoring her serious health concerns.

We dive into the broader issues of bodily autonomy, the emotional and physical toll of surrogacy, and the ethics of family pressure. Why do some people feel entitled to another person’s body? How does infertility impact relationships and decision-making? And where should we draw the line between compassion and personal boundaries?
