[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, know that most people are not wackadoodle enough to actually think that surrogacy is “purchasing a human being” (wtaf). As you can tell, like adoption, this is an issue that triggers a lot of people’s personal baggage. A non-anonymous board may be a better resource for you, since anonymous boards really encourage people to let their crazy/vicious flags fly. I am sure you are intelligent enough to know that there are unethical surrogacies, and a decent enough person to want to avoid that. I wish you luck in finding a better corner of the Internet for actual discussion of what ethical surrogacy can look like, and if it can be ethical to do it across borders (I think it absolutely can be). Best of luck to you. [/quote] +1000 What kills me the most about this thread is the venomous Marxists. They’re ranting about exploitation of poor people when really they’re just ranting against capitalism and trying to pretend they’re being altruistic. Well, I ask you Marxists, what about firefighters? Should they not be paid? Should rescuing people be done on a volunteer basis, to ensure that no one gets exploited? I mean firefighters put their bodies on the line to go into burning buildings for money, sometimes to rescue much richer people. Look how many died rescuing rich bankers on September 11. That’s as clear an imbalance of power as it gets. To keep it fair, should they work on a volunteer basis only? In their own neighborhoods? For people of the same ethnicity as they are? (Otherwise, it’s clearly racist.) Under your line of reasoning, firefighters are being PAID to use their BODIES to rescue other people that should just rescue themselves or deal with their predicament. (I mean sometimes in life you just have to accept your fate. We don’t get everything we want.) It’s appalling, unethical and unconscionable to ask someone else to be paid to use their body to rescue YOU . They’re clearly being unfairly exploited with their paychecks and benefits. Should people, especially rich people, figure out their own volunteer system of saving themselves from a fire? So as not to expose these working class, mostly White men to the many serious potentially fatal dangers they face in trying to rescue them? It’s not fair to have this sort of imbalance of power. Firefighters are forced to run into burning buildings FOR MONEY!!!! You all are nuts and incredibly judgmental. I hope one day you are forced to eat your words in a very personal way.[/quote]
