Re: Unpopular Opinions!
(Anonymous) 2015-06-08 09:59 am (UTC)(link)C) The U.S. isn't rigorous. About anything. The U.S. fertility industry is "regulated" (if you want to call it that) by a hodge-podge of state and local laws and voluntary national guidelines from nongovernmental associations. (Example: Single-embryo transfer and no embryo storage are federal limitations in Italy. In the U.S., you can get an occasional, dubiously ethical but not illegal, octomom. Generally you just get loads of twin births -- which are considered high-risk multiples, btw.) Paying a surrogate outright might be illegal in your state (likely owing to some past sensational court case), but all the bills related to the pregnancy can be paid, which becomes very vague, gray, and wildly expensive in the U.S.
Hence medical tourism, mainly to India where surrogacy is an existing business model; it is a service that can be purchased at set rates, and it's cheap by comparison and largely unregulated by the government. With the exchange rate difference, carrying one U.S. baby can build a house, start a business, or pay for a relative's entire college education.
But most couples tend to opt for gamete donation (oocyte or sperm) if at all feasible.
