Rebel Wilson has had her first child via surrogate

[ShirleyPhallus]

Rebel Wilson (who I love) has announced via IG that she’s had her first baby via surrogate this week. Lovely for her to have a baby.

But the topic of surrogacy rears its ugly head and once again I’m wondering why so many rich and famous women choose to have a surrogate. Rebel has had significant publicity with her weight struggles and is currently in a relationship with a woman (she doesn’t name her as co-parent).

she hasn’t publicly said why she used a surrogate but I feel a bit uncomfortable by this as being a step yet again

No

"If I can sell my baby why can't I sell my kidney?"

Because in some countries they don't view it as "your baby" presumably.

I had a thing for Robbie Williams for a long time. 'Til he and his wife hired a womb for 2 of their kids 'cos they were too busy to grow a baby'. Can't bear him now.

Jumped the shark there a little didn’t you?

Not sure what your point or opinion is, it’s clear from your strange ramblings that you don’t either, but that’s ok.

However, I’m fairly certain that most people could grasp that a baby’s entire world at birth and for some time after is it’s birth mother, regardless of genetics. And that it is damaging for them to be removed from their birth mother for this exact reason.

If you fancy a read there is extensive literature on the damage done to adopted babies. Not sure why some in society haven’t linked this up to surrogacy yet, though I suspect money and class bias has a lot to do with it.

As far as I know in countries where surrogacy is legal the mother is always the mother until the right documents are signed.

Surrogacy for altruistic reasons, for example a woman carrying a baby for for sister who can't sustain a pregnancy, is fine imo
Commercial surrogacy, ie: celebrities renting a womb so as not to interrupt their career , ruin their body etc should be outlawed
I believe they call them."gestational carriers"
However , I can see why some women who are struggling, single parent, poverty , would find the high fees to be a surrogate , would find it very tempting, a road out of poverty, so to speak

I saw something on US tv once that she had fertility struggles - tried to freeze her eggs as she hadn’t met the right person but it was too late.

I am still furious that Hilary and Alec Baldwin used a surrogate to conceive a 6th child. Absolutely no justification whatsoever, other than narcissistic greed.

They went on to have a 7th naturally so no conception problems whatsoever.

Also, that surrogate could only possibly have done it for the money. Imagine putting a baby through that unbearable stress for money.

Why is Tan France mansplaining formula feeding?

And how dare he try to make out that it’s women who are privileged for breastfeeding when he can literally afford a designer baby from a rented uterus?

absolute self awareness vacuum. He’s lost a fan here.

THIS!
Pregnancy is the easy bit

But I suppose if wealthy people can't manage, they can buy their way out of childcare by hiring nannies and boarding schools, and then lots of holiday activities.

At the risk of more strange ramblings then, I'd the bond with the birth mother really a long term effect. It's not like the baby is aware of its surrounding particularly or likely to remember much of its few few months, of life. Short of obvious health benefits like breast feeding etc is it really that harmful as long as it has a caring adult to look after them?

How does this damage compare with situations where the mother dies in childbirth?

No surprise she’s commissioned a baby and rented a womb. She’s vile and extremely entitled. Horrible woman.

And this relates to surrogacy how Walkden?

Attachment disorder is very real.
Tearing a baby from it's birth mother {Baby will know her voice for all that time in utero} is not at all a good idea unless the child is at serious risk of harm.

She shared quite a while ago that she had had some bad news regarding her fertility.

I don't see why people have an issue. I'm sure she'll be a lovely parent and definitely has the means the provide for a child. Irrelevant that she's in a relationship with a woman

I’m not how I feel about it. I think when it’s family, then it can be quite nice, my aunt can’t conceive and a few family members have offered to be a surrogate if she wanted it. But it seems to be increasingly popular in Hollywood and it’s quite worrying.

It's a minority small issue, and affects women only. Of course it's not an issue in the UK, that'd be putting women first, not rich people. Because let's be honest, there are costs involved. Meanwhile, it is illegal in many European countries, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, Iceland, Norway, so, just putting this out there, but maybe the UK has this wrong? Do you think those countries are backwards and the UK has the right approach? I don't.

I think this is right, and especially if you know how your body will change PP and have the funds for it I suspect it’s “easier” to do it this way

You don't see the issue? How to tell me you haven't read the thread without telling me you haven't read the thread. Even if you disagree with the reasons, how can you not see the issue?

I think any baby is lovely. The way that she has procured it is not.

No I don't, or how it's anyone's business to be honest.

Just get on with your lives 😂

Hilary Baldwin of faked Spanish accent fame?!

Then you just don't care about anything at all, with that argument, do you? Everything goes, because if it's not your business?

No I don't, or how it's anyone's business to be honest

So buying babies is totally OK in your view and nobody else's business?
