[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ppl (or maybe one poster) on this thread seem to be equating DE with creating a child to "sell" and calling it dangerious and unethical.   If so why is it so much worse than sperm donated created babies?  Personally I dont see a difference between the two (eggs and sperm are microscopic elements necessary to create a baby.

Sperm donor babies have existed for decades now and we dont see waves and waves of maladjusted kids.  Why would DE be different? If anything I think its terribly compelling to show the child pictures of the mother carrying the pregnancy, pictures of mother and baby at birth, and the knowledge that they have been together since the beginning. This child grows inside them, is part of them.   -- signed infertility survivor finally coming around to DE

Couldn't agree with this more.

There are a lot of very narrow perspectives on how families are made, but a lot of very very expansive examples of family living out in the world these days.  I posted way up thread about wrapping my head around DE by thinking of all of the people in my life who I consider to be family, and all of the acquaintances in my life who are, traditionally speaking, my family.[/quote]
