Apologies if there ‘s already a thread about this.
Top story on Daily Mail website shows Khloe Kardashian in a hospital bed with her newborn son. Only problem is she used a surrogate. It’s bad enough men trying to erase women but when a woman tries to airbrush the birthing mother out of the picture it makes me feel a bit sick.www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11238003/Khloe-Kardashian-gives-intimate-look-arrival-baby-son-shes-accompanied-sister-Kim.html

I think Kim's last child or is it twins were surrogates so they have been low for a while, I can't stand them and I don't understand the whole kardashian thing.

I don't understand why people are interested in them.

I didn't care about their cosmetic surgery and makeup, even if it did make them look like the Dolmio puppet family. That's their affair. Didn't care about them being media hungry either. That's their job.
But renting a womb, commissioning a baby, erasing the surrogate mother and the realities of her experience and posing in a hospital bed as if that cost and reality was hers...that's deplorable.

I dont see anything wrong with it. It's her child, shes in hospital meeting the baby, I'd use a bed for comfort too. She's obviously not given birth recently as full make up and dressed, so not making out she is the birth mother. The surrogate probably doesn't want to be in the papers with all the publicity either, so may have requested to not be photographed or named.
Her sister Kim needed to use a surrogate as it was too dangerous for her medically, perhaps Khloe is the same.

It’s been documented for years on the show that she had hardly any eggs and has a very low chance of conceiving.

Nothing to see here.
Just a mega rich person with her latest purchase.
Totally okay.

I don't entirely understand the argument against surrogates (although I don't like the trend for celebrities to use them for convenience if there is no medical need). They are also autonomous individuals capable of making informed decisions, will have been told about the risks, and decided it's worth it for them. I appreciate there are issues of power imbalance and equity with surrogates mainly coming from poor backgrounds, and needing the money, but I'm not sure if that makes it inherently wrong. Any more than deciding to do a job that was physically dangerous because you needed the money is inherently wrong.
