I was appalled when picking up a small time newspaper and reading an ad advertising for surrogate mothers. Really!
The ad reads, become a surrogate mother and you will get generous compensation. We only seek women ages 21-45 who have had (get this) prior experience at giving birth. Brave New World how far away are You? Oh, by the way, only non-smokers need apply. The solicitor is (thank God) a solicitor.
Remember me, said Harriet when I had forgotten choir Christmas carolling. What? Remember when want ads were for jobs?
How far have we come in time when we advertise for employment for surrogate motherhood. The experience that was to bond the child to his mother has become a job. But, as usual, I have a question. Who does the surrogate mother bond to once her child is delivered to the buyer? Have women become that Brave New Wordlish to have dropped their natural instincts of bonding which includes, by the way, protection?
The situation is that if I feel that abhorrent to the entire idea of advertising actually advertising for surrogate mothers in want ads of all place, am I alone?
Are we afraid to voice our repugnance at this betrayal of the birth bond to soothe the wounded pride of childless couples who are, of course, above adoption. After all the surrogate will probably carry the male's sperm.
Such a soothing alternative to the male pride and such a start of unbelievable distortion. Of course, science has come a long way baby, the male's sperm could have been laboratory implanted in his female's egg and once fertilized implanted into the surrogate. I find that to be disgusting. Am I the only one?
