confusion...
by krishna tripathi on Nov 02, 2007 02:35 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

if a man is single (not married, widowed or divorced) can he get a surrogate mother?? it would be utter confusion then...what about the legal rights of such a child? what is the gurantee that the surrogate mother will not use the DV (domestic violence )act to claim right on the father's property?? so it should be discouraged otherwise these women organisations will make laws demanding "rights of surrogate mothers"...

a single man, not married, widowed etc. can still adopt a son! there's a fashion designer in b'bay who has done that. that's no confusion!!

Dude, how can a single male become a father. He would need some female's eggs to fertilise. The surrogate mother lends her embryo, not her eggs.

Read it properly... "Sonia (name changed), a poor Indian woman, is now carrying their baby in her womb. The embryo was created in Dr Patel's laboratory with Jennifer's eggs and Kendall's sperm."

They are not talking about artificial insemination. The child will still be the couples biological child.

And its not that they pick up some random woman & make her a surrogate mother. And obviously, all the pros n cons are explained to the parties involved.

dude. for all practical purposes, the child is the couples child. the egg and the sperm belong to the couple, its just that the womb is that of someone elses. take the guys sperm and the womans egg, fuse it and put it in someone elses womb. the child would have the same genetic make up as the parents.
