I think surrogacy can be a godsend to those unable to carry a child on their own who desire their own, biological child.
However for those who have no pre-existing health conditions & just use surrogacy as an “easy” way out of ruining their figure or going through the pain of childbirth (like Paris Hilton,) then I think in these cases it is unnecessary. |
Adoption is regulated. |
But what about people who want to use surrogacy simply to buy a child? What if they plan to use the child for slavery? Or later sell the child for profit? Or harvest its organs (as appears to be the case OP brought up). |
Ok maga idiot go back to your hole and shut up Seriously this is not a thing. What is a thing is sex trafficking of children by border agents on Texas! Yeah republicans! What is a thing is church members abusing children who again are Republicans and both are facts! |
- except the news shows it IS a thing. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/losangeles/news/arcadia-surrogate-children-seized-child-endangerment-neglect/ Facts matter. |
I'm a NP, but I agree with the person you called a "maga idiot" and I'm not a republican. If we've learned anything from the trump administration, it's that you can't rely on common decency or that people will make moral, responsible choices when left to their own devices. Surrogacy needs to be overseen by a regulatory body to protect the good from the bad. And to protect women and children from those who have black hearts. |
WTH ? Where on earth did you get the idea I am a MAGA? How did anything I wrote bring up the repug-licans? You sound insane. |
It’s regulated at the state level |
Adoption appears highly regulated, judging from experiences of coworkers and friends of ours in MD, VA, and D.C., who have had to navigate the complex and lengthy process required before an adoption is allowed here. Are there any comparable prerequisites for private surrogacy ? |
Looked into “private surrogacy” a bit.
It appears “private surrogacy” is completely unregulated and legal in many states. Even google AI kept using terms like “ lawyer highly recommended,” or “it is crucial - though not required - to do background investigation” etc. Reading between the lines: private surrogacy has NO legal prerequisites in many states. Jeffrey Epstein could have bought a bunch of surrogate babies had he wanted to. Maybe he did. |
Most moms in my town with 3 kids are still slim. Mary Heln Bowers has 4 kids and slim. And I am not taking about suburban mom slim. With new drugs and fitness industry, it’s even more achievable today. Surrogacy is completely unnecessary. |
This is a baby farm testing site, can’t you tell? |
Just remember, if you are in favor of commercial surrogacy, you are in favor of this:

Just remember, before you ever speak again, that you're a total idiot. |
Surrogacy would be an expensive and slow way to obtain a child for any of those. Unfortunately, infants are sold or traded for a pittance everywhere in the world. |
