Kenyan social influencer and digital personality Liz Jackson has openly advocated for the legalization and regulation of surrogacy in the country. In a post that has since gone viral, Liz Jackson opened up on her own views regarding motherhood choices while at the same time expressing her willingness to undergo surrogacy if she had a choice. However, her post has been met with mixed reactions from netizens following her decision to openly express herself on surrogacy.
The caption on her post read:“If I were given a choice between carrying a pregnancy myself and choosing surrogacy, I would choose surrogacy without hesitation.It’s time for surrogacy to be legalized and properly regulated in Kenya.”This is a clear indication that she would opt for surrogacy if she had a choice. This has sparked a heated debate in the country with some people praising her for her bold move while others have expressed their own views on the matter.
Currently, surrogacy in Kenya is in a gray area, and this has made the process a complicated one for those individuals and couples who may wish to consider an alternative way of becoming parents.
The other notable thing about this case is that, despite the controversy surrounding surrogacy, Liz’s post also highlighted a trend among young and urban personalities in Kenya who are becoming more vocal about issues of reproductive choice and lifestyle choices.
