In all honesty I wasn’t sure who this woman was, however the story came up on my newsfeed and it made me feel sick to my stomach.
Her reasons for choosing surrogacy was because (like priyanka chopra) her career was more important to miss a moment of and “put her life on hold for 2 years and feel resentful of that”, she also said she was ‘terrified of pregnancy’ so she and her husband decided the surrogacy route.
What about the poor woman/surrogate she paid to have her baby? Why is it ok for her to miss 2 years of her life (I’m not quite sure where she got 2 years specifically from). This genuinely makes me incredibly sad, we’re in such a rich person/consumer focused world that even when we ‘don’t have time’ we can pay for a baby/life.
Does anyone else have thoughts of this?
It makes me feel so uneasy this ‘buy a baby culture’.
