Surrogate Mothers

Goodness gracious--this is stressful on so many levels--the outsourcing of surrogate motherhood. I mean, we have the typical IVF concerns about divorcing sex from procreation, we have typical outsourcing concerns, not to mention concerns about these modern-day parents--I mean, what sort of mother would be okay with her child spending his first nine months in someone else's body, being treated who-knows-how (what sort of food is she eating, exercise is she taking, etc.?)? For crying out loud, first, we're shipping our children off for pre-school and day care and now we're shipping them off to go through pregnancy all by themselves.

I don't see how a pregnant woman could tolerate being kicked by another woman's baby. What would stop her from punching herself in the womb?
