Are you for surrogate mothers?


Doing it? I'm absolutely against it, it's creepy and the worst choice for the woman carrying the baby in mental and emotional level since they would be developing a bond with the baby. It isn't something to be proud of to help someone oh-so selflessly by making their fantasy true, those women are selling their wombs to feel great about themselves emotionally.
Honestly, I'd never get why some gets desperate for biological kids, just accept your body condition if you're truly and utterly unable to impregnate/get pregnant it's so much easier letting go of it.
Adopted children aren't replacement for biological either but a choice that comes with responsibility.
Family isn't about DNA
No, not really for it. I can understand the desire fora child, but like everything else this procedure has been used for evil. Women "sacrifice" 9 months of their time for somesomeone else (really for a hefty paycheck). Some "couples" are fake and exploiting children. A lot of these agencies are representing "gay couples" in places like Taiwan.
I think if it was illegal to receive payment for renting out her uterus, there would be a lot less "noble" women.
It's illegal in my state.
@Sixgunsound Not in my state. Done c women earn a living this way. I know of one in particular who did this multiple times (5 I think).
*some women
(darn swipe)
@Sixgunsound what state are you in?
@Apple1996 NY
At least according to my wife, I'm obliged to confess I didn't do any research on this one.
@Sixgunsound women can be a surrogate there for sure. You def wrong about that. There's only like 3 states that it's illegal and there are loopholes where the women can do the ivf and birth in another state so it's still technically legal
@Sixgunsound yeah I know this cuz I plan on going through a higher paying state like NY or cali to make more money then doing it where I live
@Apple1996 it wasn't really something that could possibly effect me no matter how much some people will argue otherwise so I chose to spend my limited research time on finishing up things I have left for my last semester or grad school.
Taking a break from typing up a literature review for a paper on designing sensory spaces for children on the autism spectrum in elementary schools.
If a couple cannot conceive on their own, they should adopt one if the many children available for adoption. I'm not in favor if surrogacy... just so a couple can continue their bloodline.
Surrogacy also creates some difficult legal questions. The surrogate mother typically has legal priority over the couple, and can decide to keep the baby, breaking the surrogacy contract. Then what? A court fight over the baby? Sad.
Depends on the circumstances.
Some women have viable eggs but can't carry a baby to term. I personally know three couples (M/F) who've used surrogate mothers to carry their biological child.
It's not an easy option for the couple or the surrogate, but it's a way for couples who would otherwise not have children to be parents if they don't "qualify" for adoption

This is one of my “unpopular opinions.”
I’m not a fan of making babies in this way simply because there are so many children out there that could fill the void for childless couples.
That being said, I never had a hard time having my own children, so I don’t personally know the devastation one might feel being unable to. This is why I’m more inclined to support people making their own choices in this area. I may not agree with the choice they make, but it’s their’s to make nonetheless. I hope it brings them the happiness they are looking for.
Yeah. If someone can’t carry their own child why not have that option available. Yes adoption, and fostering is an option but some people just want a biological child of their own. If she can’t carry it herself I see nothing wrong with the use of a surrogate.
I’m against it but for a much different reason.
There are well over 40,000 children in need of adoption in the USA alone, and that number only grows.
What kind of selfish monster pays thousands to artificially shove a baby into a surrogate just to be able to have their DNA passed on?
treating babies like selectively bred puppies…
Probably someone who cares about their family line instead of raising another stranger’s mistake.
Let’s rephrase.
“Probably some selfish dipshit who thinks their DNA makes a difference.”
I'm against it. I see it as a way of taking advantage of desperate women since most women who do this come from poor countries. It's also a way of "commercializing" babies, to me it's immoral.
If a couple wants to have a child but is unable to conceive, they should adopt. There are so many children who need love and a family.
I support it. It is the only way a single man can have his own kid. I think many women that are against it mostly just don't want men to have a way to have a kid without being obligated to take care of a woman in the process. She is paid. It is her choice. Nobody is forcing her to do it. I see no problem with it.
Yes I'm definitely for it and plan on being a surrogate once I'm done having my own kids. It's a amazing thing to bring a baby into the world and I can't wait to help someone else out by doing that for them 😊
Good question, and I'm all for it. I'm struggling to understand how this affects you or anyone else not involved. Can you imagine what it would be like if there was this much moral outrage with killing babies, as there is for wanting them?
I don't have anything against it. I'd be way more interested in raising a child if I didn't have to carry and birth it 😂
Surrogates sign up to do it so I figure they understand and agree to all that pregnancy involves.
I think it is good. I have three surrogate kids, and I don't have to be married to someone with a shitty personality. Many women like a princess, and I dont have the time to deal with their nasty attitudes.
I am not saying men are any better to be in a relationship with than women; most people are lairs and scum. I want kids because I know they genuinely respect me as a human being.
no, I'm not, I am however for insemination, if the lady wishes it, I think every woman should be able to enjoy (if that is the word) giving birth if they can,
I don't understand what everyone's issue is. As long as the surrogate mother is willing and knows what she's getting into, what the hell is the problem? Doesn't really seem like it's anyone's business but the surrogate and the parents.
I'm not a fan of it either, but I do support natural insemination, but not artificial. Even so, I really think a child should be bared naturally with someone you have an emotional connection with.
I don't care what others do with their own bodies. Long as I'm not carrying it nor caring for it, do what you want
I can’t imagine getting that upset about it. A surrogate does an act of love for another couple and compensated for her time. No problem.
Every situation is different.
i have a close friend that is talking to a couple. The couple can’t have kids. She’s considering helping them out.
Kinda, you okay with sperm donors? it's basically the male version of surrogate mothers.
I think it's nice. It's good for gay couples.
I'm against it. We know it will be abused, and an illegal market will appear and flood with babies that no one will want.
I'm not a fan. It breaks the bond between the mum and the baby.
Sometimes it is the only way for a couple to have a child. I see no problem with it in that regard.
It’s a beautiful gift. Yes.
What ever helps a female get her own child
I’m in support.
YES!!! ❤️
Yes…
I don’t care
