Why do celebrities use surrogates so much?

[Anonymous]

You can’t underestimate most (all?) celebrities’ disordered eating and their obsessive focus on looks. They don’t want to gain weight or change their bodies. I think it’s that simple.

They may also have fertility issues due to eating disorders and not want to address that.

There are going to be legitimate reasons for using a surrogate but to explain the rise among celebrities, I’d say this is the reason. As more people do it, there is less stigma so others do the same.

Having children wrecked my health and career, so I’ve come to think those who can afford surrogates and use them are the smart ones.

11:26 here — Also want to add that no man has ever carried a single pregnancy or become a father except by using a woman’s body. Yet, men get to preen and call themselves full parents without any social judgment for their exclusively parasitic means of reproducing. So, why in the world should women who go the “male” route (i.e., get someone else to carry the pregnancy) feel less than?

All of them use surrogates even when they are still of age of conceiving (30's to 40's). Even Elon musk's girlfriends used surrogates to conceive, amber heard, kim k, paris hilton, etc. Possibly even Janet jackson who conceived at 50 though everyone saw her with a bump.

Because they can afford it.

Plenty of women who choose this route if they could pay for it.

This is Regarding women potentially struggling to conceive. So many celebrities have been shamed for adopting (whether internationally or transracially) so I can see why celebrities are turning away from it and doing surrogacy if they still can.

I can’t think of a major celebrity that has adopted in the last 5 years or so. Sandra Bullock was the last one in 2015. Can’t think of anyone past that.

Gestational surrogacy is controversial but at least the child is biologically related to the parents.

So just ruin some other poor woman's health? Why can't we buy kidneys off people then?

And yes that definitely also goes for men who want to use a surrogate.

I think it’s just infertility + wealth and you hear about it more than with normal people.

You can donate a kidney. You can volunteer to be a surrogate.

Why do men get to ruin their wives’ health?

Socialites have enough money to have children during 18-24, recovery fast and get back to their life. Why wait until 36?

Why tie yourself with marriage and children during prime of your career in an industry and a social circle which worships sex, youth and beauty?

This is a great point.

This is like everything else. Those who made a different decision for whatever reason just to find blame and reason for someone doing it another way, usually just way to make themselves feel better with their own choice.

- SAHM think they’re better than those tgat WOH And use childcare
- People who clean their own house Think they are better than people who get their house cleaned
- Women who have have natural childbirth, think that people who are drugged
- People who struggle with their weight and weightloss think they are better than people who have weight loss, surgery or drugs

... or vice versa.

WOH with childcare think they are better.

People who hire cleaners, think they are better.

People with money who find quick solutions for obesity, think lowly of middle class people trying to do it naturally with diet and exercise.

People with plastic and make up beauty think they are better than ordinary looking people.

Everyone justifies their own choices. It doesn't make one better or worse than others.

That’s right, ladies. No outsourcing for you. You're morally obligated to pay the Eve tax.

We commodify people’s bodies all the time. The fact that some people go nuts with regard to this particular shade of commodification has more to do with social expectations of womanhood than some supposes aversion to translating physicality into money.

We rent people’s time, muscles, auditory processing, visual processing, heck, even taste buds. I don’t feel like there’s a moral difference in renting a uterus.
