Surrogacy contracts

Is that 40 % babies per attempt, or 40 % babies without congenital disease?

(Yes, yes, I know the parents have the right to make a baby if they can't do it in the bed or in the forest.)

I think they tend to be on average as healthy as normal babies because they only attempt to implant successful embryos.

Yeah, typically the big issue is getting through the first trimester without any problems. I've almost never heard of any health issues as a direct result of IVF. Usually, you'll have health effects due to the babies being born premature because they are fraternal twins from the IVF process. And the success rate for the process to take effect is improving every year as the medical community keeps coming up with better ways to improve the process.

It's not "very low", just low. 40% for under 35.

Depends upon region I guess.

In the UK the rate of success for under 35 is less than 30%, which is at least low, if not very low.

And then only just over 20% for those over 35. Less than 10% for over 40 and less than 5% for over 42.

Yeah it costs a bomb. Not cheap. Generates plenty of moaning about NHS funding going towards it.

Yeah must be similar here. There are some qualifications, but generally it is available on the NHS here. As previously, however, this makes lots of people very salty on the "these people aren't sick, why should my taxes be spent on giving them this treatment?" basis.

Restrictions if the women is over 40, I believe... friend went for IVF when she was 41 or so, and had to go private, cost £40 000 before she fell pregnant. But beautiful daughter.

I believe in the US, the biological parents WOULD be able to obtain custody over the surrogate mother.

EDIT: Looking this up, perhaps I am wrong about this. It's difficult to tell. I don't think there have been many cases like this.

Hey, I'm not a communist or a libertarian. I can live in the real world and adjust my views when they turn out to inconsistent with reality. :ph34r: :p

That doesn't really answer my question though. What's the going rate? If the surrogate parents have invested significant money and time into this exercise, then the bargain should be kept. Market forces have set a price for the property in question, and how often are we lectured to around these parts that nothing is more important than the free market and individual property rights?

I've got a feeling that one of the caveats over here is you can't accept payment for surrogacy, probably to prevent a 'I paid for this baby scenario'

You think? It’s almost as if people who invest large amounts of money and endure the consequent emotional stress would take the precaution of having their rights protected.
