Right now women are using surrogates because they can't be pregnant. What worries me is the possibility that soon they'll use surrogates because they don't want to be pregnant.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We chose to use a surrogate as the way we wanted to start our family, particularly as I was traveling across the globe on a stressful schedule to get stores open.
There was a friend of ours who worked with a girl who had said she would consider being a surrogate. We met her and right away she was awesome. We were looking for someone who could take care of themselves and it was pretty clear she could.
My wife and I had been trying a while to have a baby. We tried a bunch of things - so we had a surrogate.
I have many friends who had kids solo, who adopted, who used surrogates - no one was judging them - it's a new world!
Surrogate motherhood has been the subject of much philosophical and political dispute over the years.
I would rather do surrogacy before adopting. If I can't do it, I'd rather find someone who would do it for me.
If you are in support of in vitro fertilization, then you have to recognize that human embryos are being created in excess of what can be used safely to reimplant for a pregnancy. So they're going to end up being discarded.
Surrogacy used to be difficult, because the woman that was carrying the child was biologically related to the child. And sometimes you can still do it that way, but you do not have to do it that way anymore.
For most women, including women who want to have children, contraception is not an option; it is a basic health care necessity.
In many countries, women aren't jubilant when they learn they are pregnant. Quite the opposite - they're terrified.
