surrogate compensation

Surrogate compensation refers to the payment received by a substitute or stand-in, often in contexts like organ donation, reproduction, or service roles. For example, in surrogacy, a woman who carries a pregnancy for someone else receives compensation for her time, effort, and expenses. Similarly, in medical or employment settings, a surrogate might be compensated for performing a task or representing someone else. The purpose of surrogate compensation is to acknowledge the effort and resources involved, ensuring fairness and ethical standards, while preventing exploitation or unethical practices.
