[quote=Anonymous]The big thing to consider is how you will all feel if something goes awry with all of this.  What if the pregnancy or labor and delivery are complicated in someway that leaves your sister with permanent changes to her body (either cosmetic or something more serious such as a permanent handicap)?.  What if the baby is diagnosed with a serious birth defect and you wish to abort but your sister does not or vice versa?  What if the pregnancy is difficult to the point where it negatively impacts your sister's ability to perform as a mother for her own children or at her job?  What if you and your sister disagree about the way she should conduct herself as a pregnant woman (you think she is drinking too much coffee etc. )?  What if she miscarries early on? Would you pressure her to try again?

I think most people who are not biased against the whole idea of reproductive medicine can see that if all goes smoothly, this will be a sweet and wonderful thing. One sister provides for another sister the greatest gift that anyone could ever offer.  It is when things do not go according to plan (which happens far more often than we would like to admit in life) that the closeness of your relationship can be a detriment rather than a strength.  Please consider all of these scenarios and any others that might come to light carefully before moving forward.[/quote]
