I recently had the pleasure of reading a headline on the Yahoo website about a grandmother giving birth to three daughters. Now before you try to wrap your head around this concept and start laughing at the other southern states for their long, glorious, tradition of incest you need to know this actually happened in Ohio. Which of course means that a mother and son did no propagate a new generation of the family but that in fact the title of the article was misleading and the grandmother was in fact a surrogate.
But does this make it any better? Well yeah, I guess it does but still consider that a daughter decided to inject her husband's sperm and her egg into her own mother's vag. Is nothing sacred?

well, this is definitely the cleanest way to keep the genetics in tact. given that its a mother, a daughter, and three granddaughter-daughter-whatevers - at least they'll keep the mitochondrial line going.
i must say. if i was a woman who (probably somewhat reluctantly) volunteered to surrogate for my daughter and ended up with triplets, i would be pissed.
here's a question - what do you think the %'s are when it comes to surrogates who back out and get abortions? and what are the 'rights' / 'laws' around that?
Technically surrogate can keep the baby in the end? I think generally the contracts pay for expenses plus a stipend during the pregnancy with a big [baby] bonus at the end so an abortion would seriously cut down on the profits. speaking of down.... if the parents in wait found out their surrogate was harbouring a down syndrome baby and asked them to abort it and try again would she make double pay? What if she decided to have the DS baby and the parents didn't want it? Does the surrogate have to keep it?
well, i would think yes, but most definitely not in nebraska
what is a surrogate drinks during pregnancy, the kid comes out with fetal alcohol syndrome, and lives for like 3 months.
do you still get paid? and is that breech of contract or criminal negligence causing death? or both?
It is probably breach of contract in a civil case and because of the scrutiny involved in something like being a surrogate it is probably more likely to result in criminal negligence.
Yes I suppose in Nebraska you can just recycle it at the hospital. Thought it doesn't matter if you are a Nebraskan or not. ROAD TRIP.
Artificial insemination only occurs if the surrogate mother is carrying her own baby. If it's someone else egg, then fertilization occurs in vitro, and the embryo is transferred to the surrogate mother's womb.
Though I have a feeling you were going for impact...
