Modern Surrogacy: Choosing between Traditional or Gestational

People such as Charles Dougherty of Health Policy Ethics Center say, "In future generations, human embryos and fetuses are treated as interchangeable parts and they can be recreated in a mechanical process as a rental tool. "(Dougherty, paragraph 4) Dougty is wrong in his view of surrogacy and reproductive technology. Because he ignores the fact that many people believe that the birth of a child is a gift and a miracle. As Dr Elvonne Whitney said, "Once embryos, eggs, or sperm are placed in the uterus, we can not control their further development ... God is still under control and everything The concept is a miracle. "(Whitney 105).

Fertilization of eggs can be done in various ways. Each method is related to the genetic relationship between the obtained child and agent and future parents. There are two main types of surrogacy and pregnancy. In the United States, pregnancy surrogacy is more general than traditional surrogacy and is considered not so complicated by law. Traditional representatives (partial, genetic, also known as natural or direct surrogate) include natural or artificial insemination of substances. If the anticipated father's sperm is used for insemination, the resulting child is genetically related to the intended father and genetically related to the agent. If the donor's sperm is used, the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the future parent, but genetically related to the pathogen.

There are two basic types of child rearing: traditional surrogacy and surrogacy by pregnancy. In traditional surrogacy, surrogacy uses sperm of a man who wants to become a parent to nurture parents. Since the agent is both a genetic mother and a pregnant mother, it is necessary to legally release the parent's right to the child after the child is born. Because he is a genetic father of a child, the anticipated male parent does not need to adopt a child.

In a pregnancy substitute schedule where the prospective parent of two parents may be genetically related to a child, the situation is quite different. The expected mother's egg is fertilized outside the body (outside the uterus) using the sperm of a given lactating father. Next, the obtained embryo is transplanted to the surrogate uterus. The only relationship between surrogacy and children is pregnancy. In a variant of this arrangement, the intended consumers provide the surrogate embryo to nurture them. If an anticipated parent is also a genetic parent of a child, it is not necessary to adopt a child. However, if one or two of the intended parenting parents are not genetically related to the child, you may be asked to adopt the child. For example, if a couple uses extra frozen embryos from a reproductive assistant clinic, they may need to use a child born from the embryo.
