Etymology

It appears that the word surrogacy (or syrrogate mother) comes from the story of Sarah and Hagar (wives of Abraham the prophet). I could not find a reference for this claim. I wish we could add a section titled etymology to the article and claim this without the need of a reference since the reference cannot be found. Kamranmohajeri (talk) 16:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Data source under Legal issues-East Asia-China

Hi, I added "better source needed" for "400" and "10,000" at the end of the second paragraph in this section. I did some dig and found the (possible) original source. Even though the current citation comes from a journal article, the article itself cites some newspaper articles with the language goes like "an expert says more than 10,000 surrogate children every year on average," and "according to incomplete statistics, more than 400 surrogacy agencies" with no concrete data. If anyone believes there should be one or sentences in the text explaining why "better source needed," please feel free to do so. Silenceinf (talk) 19:18, 14 March 2025 (UTC)
