 Three main considerations are presented in favor of labor-based accounts. One focuses on the interests of the child. Where a child has been looked after by a person or people for some time, it is thought to be very damaging for her to be taken away from them (Archard 2004). In the case of gestation, since the gestational mother is guaranteed to be identifiable at birth, it may be thought in the best interests of the child that she be regarded as the mother (Annas 1984). Moreover, the child and gestator are already involved in an intimate relationship at birth, which it is arguably prima facie wrong to sever (Gheaus 2018a). However, while recognizing the gestational mother or caregivers as parents will sometimes serve the best interests of the child, it is implausible that this will always be the case. This argument might, at best, ground laws presuming that the gestational mother and rearing parents have a claim to be the legal parents. Since there will likely be cases in which being reared by someone else would be better for the child, it will be difficult to justify the assignment of parenthood on the grounds of labor in every case.
