thanks to Cashy and Jen for your comments......
further to my last Blog, this woman is supposed to be educated...she is a retired teacher.
Wouldn't you think that her previous profession would give her an insight into the needs of children?
That children who are different in whatever way, can be open to taunts from their peers....not perhaps so much evident in primary school, but definitely in secondary education.
The child that this woman wants, will not be biologically hers, but it will be her partners....for they are not even married.
I know that these days marriage seems irrelevant to couples who want to live together.....but for those who want to have children, it is a moral thing....well, that is my perspective on it anyway...however old fashioned that may be. I believe that married parents make the best parents.......OK, there are circumstances where this is not possible(death of the father/mother.......abusive relationships.......divorce/infidelity)....children need security in their lives and stable relationships to draw parameters for their own adult lives from.....if they don't have these securities in their young lives then what chance do they have to make successful relationships for themselves?
Most of all children need a mother who functions as a mother.
After the birth of her last child, this misguided individual, who assures us that she is in robust health, required four major surgical procedures.(unrelated to her pregnancy, but a couple related to her advanced years)
I feel it is morally and ethically wrong for the donated eggs of a healthy woman, to be used in a situation such as this one....purely because the woman in question has the financial wherewithal to fund the costs.
And Yes Jen, she should be required to pay for everything, just as you said....but then I think that she would do that, because she can.......and because she can pay it doesn't make it acceptable....it makes it even more abhorrent.
