[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn’t matter if the biological parents are elderly, would be awful parents, are poor, are criminals. The fact is no court terminated their parental rights due to concerns about neglect or abuse. Biological parents who use surrogates are not asked to prove anything about their ability to parent.

At least 100,000 children have been born through surrogacy in the past 40 years. There is nothing so special about carrying a baby or some bond that is considered more special than genetics or the wishes of the intended parents who created or paid for the embryo.

This situation of an unintended surrogate getting to keep someone else’s biological child is insane. Most state courts treat embryos as the distinct genetic property of the intended parents. If a clinic accidentally implants that embryo into the wrong person, courts view it as a theft or conversion of genetic material.

And this is what Tiffany Score argued for in Jan. She wanted her biological child back and to return this baby to her biological parents. It was only after she found out her biological embryo that was implanted in another woman did not result in a child that she decided to steal this baby.

The reason the baby can legally be stolen is only because the baby was born in Florida where a woman’s right to chose what happens to her body and unborn fetus isn’t respected.

She was not a surrogate.  She is the legal mother and gave birth to [/quote]

The vitriol and disregard shown towards a woman who endured an entire pregnancy and birth here is frankly shocking. [/quote]

Because she's stolen someone's baby by not letting her parents who want her have her. This baby won't have a chance. What started out as an accident ended up as a gross sense of amoral entitlement. That is not her baby.[/quote]

You have the right to believe whatever you want but the fact that you're so entrenched on genetics being determinative isn't reflected in either ethical or legal frameworks.  Viewing a woman as only an incubator is pretty toxic.[/quote]

Renting a womb is pretty toxic and reduces women to incubators.[/quote]

No one in this story rented a womb.[/quote]
