Babies as Fast Food
No laboratory can produce baby on sperm & egg can do that. Lab. can make clones by moving nucleus of frog's cell into cytoplasm of unfertilised egg & letting resultant reconstituted cell develop into embryo.
Woman unable to have children is profound grief & great unhappiness. Fertility drugs are given to women to enhance the production of egg can lead to multiple pregnancies when woman carry more than one fetus infants frequently borns prematurely or may have to spend long periods in neonatal intensive care there is increased risk of brain damage or other disabilities so it is necessary to reduce the number of fetuses good for children which gets born .
There is vast Development in reproductive medicine present control over fertility contraception, sterilization artificial in semination, vitro fertilization or surrogating mother.
What is surrogation?
Like fast food - some one cooks for you & you eat, enjoy dishes served to you. Babies also can be achieved ready made by some one who is taking labour for you gestating your child such.woman are called surrogating mother. Where woman agrees to bear a child for another person or couple & paid for the services is surrogated mother.
A woman is inseminated with the sperm of man to whom she is not married when baby is born she relinquishes her claim to it in favour of man from whom sperm was obtained she provides egg so her biological input is at equal to that man she takes on burden & risk of pregnancy for another person or couple.
Or embryo is developed outside & only womb of a woman is used for developing the embryo till the child is born or say fertilized egg is transferred to a woman who agrees to develop the embryo - is called surrogating mother.
Good reasons for transferring the burden or risk of pregnancy may be 1) Some love some hate pregnancy for the fear of pain of labour. There are high risks in pregnancy. Which woman wants to avoid. 2) Pregnancy interferes with work. 3) Due to serious genetic diseases by carrying. 4) Some woman don't want to spoil their figure which is necessary for their acting field or other work area. 5) Couple where woman is in capable of carrying the child or unable to give birth to the child & hence womb is rented just for developing fetus. Womb is hired for contracted period. -
