Would I be able to be a surrogate mother?

[Anonymous]

This a weird question for me to ask, but I need to. My older brother and his wife (she has cystic fibrosis) when they get married in 2017, told us they are going to start trying to have a child right away , but it is hard for someone with cystic fibrosis to get pregnant. So I was thinking to myself if it came down to it could I volunteer to carry their child? I am going to be 22 by then but I have never had kids or anything so I don't if I qualify. I haven't even brought this up to any of them because she might get pregnant and have a successful pregnancy. I was just wondering that is all.

generally surrogate mothers take in the sperm of the father. if you understand and accept that and are willing to help, let them know. or at least let your brother know first

If she agrees to be a surrogate mother, she would have to be impregnated by the father. In this case, the father is her brother. You do know the effects of inbreeding, right?

its only proven in long cases of it happening, the chance of it happening for the first time is a lot slimmer then you realize. like skin color for example can take a century to change. inbreeding isn't instant. but thats why i said to let her brother know first. they should talk it out, we are pnly giving advice, it is up to them what they do

but you reliezr your brothers sperm will be injected inside you. are you happy with this? will you get pregnant the natural way?

No that would be your brothers sperm in you, I think it only works if it's a female family member.
And 22 is way too young, what are you even thinking?

The fact that no one has lived past the age of 37 with cystic fibrosis and my brothers fiancee is going to be 24 when they get married so she wants to have a child right away so she can at least be there.. for awhile

That still means you're having your brothers baby. Please find someone else to do it.

They might not feel comfortable with it, but there's no harm in asking them.

It would not work because it would be inbreeding

[9mfeo]

@Xelebrum it would be in vitro

[9mfeo]

@xelebrum they would harvest the eggs from her sister in law, fertilize them with her brother's sperm, and implant the embryos in her

[Xelebrum]

It would still be inbreeding because it would involve her egg cell and her brother's sperm.

[Xelebrum]

Would that work despite her sister-in-law's medical condition?

[9mfeo]

@xelebrum there's nothing wrong with her eggs. It's her uterus that's the problem.

Ohhh

Not for your brother, no. If it was a sister, then yes it could work.
