Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra Surrogacy

[MintyGreenDream]

I'm usually open minded about these things but it appears that they've admitted that she doesn't have fertility issues but her schedule was too "hectic" to fit in conceiving a baby.Wtaf.
Sorry but this seems very wrong

Sorry for the dm article

Performing on cue is what they are robotically best at doing I guess

And with that in mind imagine the future childhood this little girl will have. The West children (just own example) have their lives documented by Instagram, I've noticed similar 'commodification' of their childhoods as well as other children of 'celebrities', born through a surrogacy arrangement.

I don't see a problem with being proud of your kids but there is a privacy issue and where some parents also use their children to promote products or secure marketing campaigns, it's always that little bit extra 'icky' when the child themselves was purchased.

I remember the Drewitt Barlows (or rather just Barrie) commenting on his latest surrogate-born child about how she looked at birth, being that she was donor conceived he sounded very proud of his choice - or rather chosen egg donor (they interviews for it at a swanky hotel, like a casting for a film role). People often comment on how a baby looks but this was somehow about how she had been 'engineered'.

There are multiple photos of this little girl on social media so she is very much in the spotlight, even before birth.

Some criticism from an Indian Author and the back-lash she faced for daring to make a negative comment, and she says she is not referring to P and N in her tweets.

"In another tweet, the Shodh author said that body should not be for sale or rent. She tweeted, “Body should not be for sale or rent. We sell our labour-power. But we must not allow invasion.”

"In another tweet, the Shodh author said that body should not be for sale or rent. She tweeted, “Body should not be for sale or rent. We sell our labour-power. But we must not allow invasion".

That's a good quote.

"But we must not allow invasion".

I thought so too, this line especially apt.

With the misogynistic society we appear to be living in, getting worse and worse by the day it seems, it does feel like an invasion.

Women are a resource, not human beings.
Women are useful for their baby-making abilities and the babies...well, they don't know or understand any of this so they don't mind (only they do as they are human too).

Yes "the babies don't mind" because they can't talk and tell us they do mind. But when they grow up and have psychological issues and then explain how that early traumatic life event has impacted them in many ways in life, we ignore them anyway, because actually we* don't care, because actually all that matters is the buyer getting what they want.

*"we" being parts of society generally. Just like so many parts of society shrugs off the negative consequences on prostituted women and girls, and women struggling to raise children alone, and women wanting women's services which actually meet their needs, and women wanting female-appropriate healthcare. It's all just a big inconvenience to male-led capitalism.

Yep. It amazes me when I hear people saying ‘I told my 3 year old that a kind lady grew you for me and they were fine with it’ and such. Yes because they’re 3 years old! They don’t have the mental capacity to understand the implications.

In fact, often women won't have the capacity/life understanding to process the this extreme situation until they've been pregnant and given birth themselves, as it sometimes really hits them a few years after that.

But a 3 year old shrugged it off, so no biggie.

My 4 year old pretty much shrugged off the death of two elderly relatives, so I guess death is no big deal.

This 100%, which is why I am always particularly dumbfounded when I read of women who already have children farming out subsequent pregnancies. They know.

@Lunde
"I wonder how they are going to parent together given that their hectic schedules don't give them enough time to get together for the conception."

My thought exactly.

Oh my
