[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First of all he’s 54!  I know you all are going to say “oh eh has lots of money and any of us could die at any time” but still this whole AARP parenting trend is concerning. I’m also getting really uncomfortable with rich people renting the bodies of women to produce children for them. It is all very freaking dystopian. I mean literally you can now order a human the same way you order a purebred dog and just pick it up when it is done. [/quote]

This was one of the subplots on the last season of Search Party and it was interesting to see it portrayed this way (as entitled rich people literally ordering children from a menu). In real life, people who hire surrogates genuinely want to be parents, like Cooper. My main question as a woman who has given birth is how these women feel about it, how well compensated they are, how it impacts other things like their employment elsewhere and long term health. I am still dealing with some health issues from my healthy, complication-free pregnancy and birth 5 years ago. Zero regrets, as my kid is well worth it. But if it had been someone else’s child, how would I feel? And would I qualify for disability? Because these copays add up.[/quote]
