I heard on TV yesterday that Joan Lunden has just had twin babies, at the age of 52. This was accomplished through a surrogate mother. My first thought was sadness for the poor kids. My own mother was 37 when I was born and all of my friends had much younger mothers. These poor children will have a senior citizen for a mom when they are still in elementary school. I really am conflicted about this whole surrogate mother thing. I can understand an infertile couple's desparation to go this route to have a child but I have to wonder if it is really not playing God a little. I have an even bigger problem with sperm banks, etc. What do you all think? I'd love to hear some thoughts. (Gee I can't believe I am starting a topic in the Dog House! )
