How to Have A Baby

  As we already know there are many options for infertile couples to have a child if they biologically cannot. There is adoption, invetro, and surrogates. In the process of using a surrogate, the parents that want the child can combine their egg and sperm in a petri dish and a doctor will implant it into the surrogate. The other way to use a surrogate is to use the father's sperm and the surrogates egg. Yet when the sperm and a female's egg, whether it be the surrogate or the soon to be mother, the question is always asked: Who's child is it?
  In a published article about an older male and female that wanted a child, they went through many trials and tribulations to have a child. The older wife was arthritic and would not be the ideal candidate for adoption agencies. The older husband did not want to adopt because  he is an only child and his parents are dead so he felt a Darwinian obligation to continue his bloodline. After adoption was ruled out the couple tried invetro more than eight times at $8,000 per attempt. After all of the failed efforts, including miscarriages, this couple decided to try invetro. Long story short it worked and in the end everything came down to ethics. It was the husbands egg implanted into not one surrogate but two different surrogates. The question became what is the price of a child? The surrogates received cars and cash and miscellaneous things, but in the end they were cut out of this child's life. It is a business and as much as they promised not to get attached to these children, they did. Was this moral?
