Which is the best standard-form representation of the following Argument from Analogy?
Commercial surrogacy is a practice in which a woman--the surrogate--is paid to carry a baby to term on behalf of another woman who cannot, or does not want to, carry a pregnancy to term. Commercial surrogacy should be illegal. The reason is simple: legalizing commercial surrogacy is, morally speaking, no different from legalizing prostitution. In both cases, women are renting their bodies to people willing to pay to use them as they please. Thank goodness prostitution is illegal! Prostitution exploits women by treating their bodies like commodities, and it disrespects women by treating them as objects to be used instead of persons deserving of respect. This is exactly what commercial surrogacy does.
A) 1) Prostitution should be illegal.
2) Commercial surrogacy is relevantly similar to prostitution. So, commercial surrogacy should be illegal.
B) 1) It should be illegal to exploit women and treat them as objects to be used.
2) Prostitution and Commercial surrogacy both exploit women and treat them as objects to be used.
So, Prostitution and Commercial surrogacy should be illegal.
C) 1) Commercial surrogacy should be illegal.
2) Prostitution is relevantly similar to commercial surrogacy. So, Prostitution should be illegal.
D) 1) Prostitution is illegal.
2) Commercial surrogacy is relevantly similar to prostitution. So, commercial surrogacy should be illegal.
