Re: Surrogacy
Peace to you also Psyah!
You talk of the pains of giving birth. Yet, more painful it is for a woman never to know these special pains. More painful it is to never have these pains and to bear this monumental thankfulness to a surrogate who bears those physical pains for you!
A surrogate is one who lends her body for the nurture of another's child. It does not make her a biological parent in the same way that breastfeeding does not make the child of another's hers. Surely, carrying a child which is not your own is a monumentally greater task than breastfeeding another's child...but is essentially the same in a biological and scientific sense.
