(like invetro-fertilization but instead of the woman carrying the baby having you carry it for health reasons or such) Even if that meant giving up 9 months of your life for someone elses baby?

yup but it wouldn't be all about the money it would make me feel good helping someone who obviously couldn't conceive on their own and want a baby the money would definitely be a bonus though

Hell yes! That is a $100,000! There are so many things that you could do with that money that would make up for the nine months "lost." I don't actually think that the nine months carrying the baby would be that bad, considering it's really only the last three months that are the hard ones. And plus, afterwords, you would be able to take a short amount of time for maternity leave! No work, and an extra $100,000! Woohoo!

There was a time when my best friend did not know if she would be able to carry a baby to term, and I told her then that I would carry her baby for her.
I couldn't carry a baby now, for health reasons, but when I could, I would gladly have lent my uterus to someone close to me. But I wouldn't have made it a money making venture. I would have let them pay for the healthcare costs associated with the pregnancy, but that's it.
And I wouldn't ever be a surrogate just for the money. I know some women do that, but I wouldn't want to take the responsibility of carrying a stranger's child in my body just for money. It just seems creepy to me.

If you've never had a child before, I'd say no, simply because that first pregnancy will really mess with your emotions and going through all of it just to give up the baby (even though you know it's not yours) might be really really hard. If you already have kids, I probably would if I knew the people and really wanted to help them have a baby. Being pregnant is annoying but not really that bad.

be smarter then that...come on where and how are you gonna live without a job ?? I think they would only pay after the baby is born. Soo what are you gonna do for money before then?
Tell them sure if they give you a place to stay the money and take care of your expenses during the 9 months. good luck!!

No. I couldn't carry a baby, go through childbirth, then give it away. It's a wonderful thing to do, but I just couldn't. Any baby I had, I would want to keep, even with a paycheck like that.
I think surrogate mothers are very strong women who deserve all kinds of admiration for being able to spend nine months growing a baby inside them, nourishing it with their own body, then being able to just give it over to the person/people whom she was carrying it for without having a nervous breakdown.

In Canada it is illegal to accept money for being a surrogate mother or donating eggs.
However, I would consider being a surrogate mother regardless of the money if it was not my ovaries that were being used. I loved being pregnant and feel so blessed that I was able to bring a healthy baby into this world.
If I could do that for another family, that I know would love and care for the child, for sure I would do it!

I would do it without a second thought! There are so many people ready to be parents that just feel the need to have a child of their own. It would be a beautiful experience to give a couple a child of their own genetics. I would be proud and i think I would do it without the offer of lots of money!!

i'd get too attached to the unborn baby that it would be difficult to give it up. but if i knew the other person couldn't hold a baby in their tummy then i would just because its not their fault they can't have kids of their own. i'd still would like to be in the babies life maybe be a godmother or something but the baby would have a different mother.

Depends on how much you need the money and whether or not you can live with yourself after the money's spent. This is how I see it:
Carrying the baby, $100,000; Giving up a child that has grown inside you and choosing to see his face daily and love him, nurture him and watch him grow, PRICELESS. Don't do it. You'll live to regret it and you'll never forgive yourself later. You'll always wonder, what if.....

no, because i would get used to carrying the baby for nine months, then be happy that i brought a baby into the world. I would want to take care of it, but then i'd have togive it up for money. But i dont think n e ones life is worth 100,000, i think life is priceless....think about it?
