Yes..... If I were still able to carry a pregnancy I would gladly be a surragate for my friend/family member...
After I had my older two children my brother and his wife had a complicated pregnancy and lost the child it looked as if she would not be able to have another... They began looking for a surragate and I offered to be thier surragate... They accepted gladly.... Turned out it wasn't needed in the end, with several surgeries she was able to carry a total of 5 children to term... But I would have gladly carried as many as they had wanted and I was able to carry safely.....
I do not see a moral dillema at all the embryo is implanted from a sperm and egg that met in a lab dish.. It's not as if I would be having sex with anyone to concieve the child... ..
As for attachment issues, from day one you know the child you are carrying isn't yours you are just babysitting before it's born so to speak... So you avoid getting overly attached to the child as you are just the sitter...
My husband and I discussed the matter before making the offer to my brother and his wife, we decided my pregnancies had been really easy and we both felt compelled to offer the assistance to them that they were seeking...

I told my brother when I was younger I would do this for him cause he is gay and wants a baby, he would make a great father. But after having my own child and carrying her for 9 months then the labor and delivery absolutely not. Its way to emotional, for me. I don't think I could look at the child every time I seen and not think that's mine. Besides there are so many babies in this world that need good homes.

If I had been asked this question a few years ago, I would have said "Yes" I would.
Now, that I am 4 days away from a scheduled c section with my second child....I would have to say "No"...not out of selfishness, or anything like that...I just don't think I could physically go through it again....my body is getting the best of me.

Absolutely, as long as the child I was carrying was in vitro using her genetic material. Then I am simply an incubator for her child. What could be a more caring gift and expression of trust and dedication to your friendship?

It would have to depend on how close this friend was and how long I have known the person. I don't think I could. Something about feeling the baby move inside you and learning what it likes and don't likes. It would be very hard to give it up.

i do not understand if i'd do it for a pal yet I have provided to do it for my brother and his spouse. I have for toddlers and they have been unable to have any. they are large with my youthful toddlers and that i imagine that because the toddler would connect my relatives it will be extra straightforward understanding that i will nevertheless have close contact. also understanding that genitically the toddler isn't mine will be in my ideas from the initiating.

Depends on how close a friend we are talking. One of my best friends...yes. An aquaintance or co-worker...no. I would have to do it through IVF though. No sleeping with other men for me!
