[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m one of the people who said that if circumstances were different I would be a surrogate.

I have done seven cycles of IVF. I’m not incredibly fertile, which is why I have to say “if circumstances were different”.  I know exactly what it entails. I also know that the worst part of IVF by far is the superovulation and retrieval, not the preparation for transfer.  I did quite a few frozen cycles, which is analogous to what a surrogate would experience, and they were absolutely nothing compared to the ovulation and retrieval cycles. Many protocols don’t even require multiple injections, just oral medication and then oral or vaginal suppositories. They are a walk in the park.

The person who compares it to a veterinary transfer and says that the receiving party is a “less valuable animal” is frankly nuts. Come back to me when the gestational animal has freely entered into a contract that involves appropriate compensation.

Truly one of the stupider analogies out there. [/quote]

Again- economic exploitation occurs with surrogacy. Does a desperately poor woman have the same choices a rich one does? Again, look at India. Free will doesn't apply there for the most part in terms of surrogacy. If your choices are limited-- are things truly entered in to freely?
