Considering the health issues that this girl will likely have as a result of her mutation I think that carrying a child would not be a wise decision.

A quick read on this syndrome shows that she may end up with: high blood pressure, kidney disease, thyroid problems, diabetes , cataracts and weight problems.

Any one of these (absent cataracts) can put the life of the woman an/or the baby at risk.

To me the possible confusion of the child growing up is minor to the issue of the risk of lives.

“To me the possible confusion of the child growing up is minor to the issue of the risk of lives.”

My major objection is not the confusion for the child about the artificiality of their birth and whose a “parent” and who is not.

I just think the motivations for the use of many artificial pregnancy means are simply selfish and, in addition, ignore the millions of orphan children already born whose already existent lives can be continually hurt or vastly improved, if only they could be adopted. By those two measures, I question the “self-interest” of the choice to use certain artificial pregnancy means instead of adopting. That’s just me and I understand others rationally disagree.
