Re: Unpopular Opinions!
(Anonymous) 2015-06-08 08:38 am (UTC)(link)Do you know how lengthy and complex, judgemental and downright heartbreaking pregnancy can be?
And I just believe that there is no such thing as an entitlement to your own child. If it doesn't work (naturally or through adoption) then turning to the "easy way" (lucky I'm rich so I can just pay and have my kid produced for me) is saying much about what children have become in [this] society.
I know I'm old fashioned for this but from my experience, people who don't have children (no partner, infertile, gay) either find a replacement like caring for a lot of pets, or they somehow find a way to care for children within their family, adopt them or work in childcare. I think they play an important role in society. And 80% of the 40/50s gay men I know have children of their own, by the way. Either from an earlier Marriage or with a female Friend. (And I totally support rainbow families.)
INstead now, people who can't have children are told that they can have the perfect socially conform nuclear family (<--this has, historically, not been the best development ever) with child, if they just order and pay for it.
This sets norms, and that development is what I find disgusting. The complete subjection of gestation and childbirth to capitalism.
A Prostitute rents out her sexual organs for a few minutes/hours (which I'm cool with, because it's her body, as long as it's consensual), but surrogate motherhood practically offers a flat rate to a woman's whole body and health, and the physical and psychological bond not only TO to the child but also OF the child to the mother. And usually, these children can't be nursed, so they start out generally disadvantaged.
I think that sometimes it can't be helped that mother and child are divided (as with giving up a child for adoption because of reasons) or that a baby can't be nursed, but actively PRODUCING such circumstances should not be as readily accepted, I believe.
