ABSTRACT
This chapter provides brief summaries of the previous analytic chapters, engages with several theoretical standpoints that may help to continue in disorientation towards surrogacy, and assists readers to think critically about ways forward. The book proposes an orientation towards surrogacy that is potentially disorienting for the ways in which it renders normative discourses and subject positions visible. By drawing attention to the capitalist logic at play in narratives and practices of surrogacy, the book suggests that disorientation is an essential requirement when examining surrogacy from a critical standpoint. It argues that when various orientations are all placed on the table together, the potential health outcomes of surrogacy can be interrogated more transparently by all parties involved, thus contributing to an acknowledgement of the operations of health (in)equity and wellbeing within the context of surrogacy arrangements.
