Surrogacy has become a common arrangement across the globe, however many ethical concerns surrounding this industry are going largely unnoticed. Sean and Rachel speak with Olivia Maurel, a surrogacy-born child who now speaks out against surrogacy, to discuss how her personal experience has shown her how damaging it can be to all parties involved -- especially the child. Olivia reveals why she believes the arrangement places parents' wants over a baby’s needs, and how becoming a mom has made these beliefs even stronger.

Non-governmental organizations have long been known for the important role they play in helping people when a humanitarian crisis hits. However, is it ethical for these organizations to use American taxpayers' dollars to help illegal immigrants seek refuge in America? To break down this complex topic, Sean and Rachel are joined by Congresswoman Kat Commack (R-FL), as she discusses the corruption she's found when investigating NGOs' role in the border crisis and why lawmakers who allow this to continue with a blind eye should be held accountable.

Scientists across the globe have been experimenting with artificial wombs -- using what look like giant plastic bags to incubate premature-born animals. So far, researchers have found enough success with animals, like lambs, that they may soon try this method with human babies. But, many wonder where you draw the line when it comes to the ethics behind this. Author and Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center Noelle Mering explains why she's worried the wrong people could utilize artificial wombs for the wrong reasons and shares the dangers she fears may come with replacing a woman's role in pregnancy and childbirth.
