A mother of two who was acting as a surrogate for another family, died during childbirth, according to a GoFundMe created to help the family.

Michelle Reaves, described as a “mama, wifey and beautiful soul,” passed away last week due to complications while giving birth.

After Reaves and her husband birthed their own children, they decided to help other families have babies, according to the GoFundMe. This was Reaves’ second time being a surrogate for the same family.

I remember watching a show about him (I think). Wasn’t it the examination of expectant mothers where he developed his theory? He thought that doctors were spreading disease from patient to patient and so he decided to wash his hands after each patient and rate of infection dropped dramatically. Or I might be confusing it with someone else.

Simple deduction and solution... hindsight is 20/20.

How many women, how many patients, were made ill? Wow.

Does the Catholic Church READ the Bible? Abrahams wife had a surrogate. So did Rachel when she couldn’t have children. The more I read about how the Catholic Church thinks, the more I’m glad I’m no longer one.

Have you moved on to interpreting the Bible now?
Wow. Some day you may move on to god-ness.

Good for you!

You are correct. Maybe she thought she was doing good.
Of course, the old saying "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" may just fit here.

I hope her family says lots and lots of prayers for her soul. I sure wouldn't want to face my Maker with THAT on my conscience.

Made ill? Child bed fever was just about the most popular way for a young woman to die.

Yours must be particularly wide.

Those were natural conceptions, not IVF. There’s something about IVF that puts out a different chemistry when the ova doesn’t belong to the surrogate.

That said, I’m not sure of what your point is about the catholic church.
I do know they see the bible differently than other Christion denominations...but then they all differ from one another. Reminds me of the tower of Babel..

Interpret? There’s nothing to interpret.Ishmeal is a serragate for Sarah. It’s the reason we have Muslims Read Genesis chapter 6.... the Bible book not the band. Anything to help the biblical ignorant.

And easily prevented too.

Sometimes I think that we are no better off — theres cancer which appears will be with us forever, AIDS and we know what causes it but ignore prevention and opt for a cure instead.

prayers for her soul are wasted and make no difference. The only thing that counts was did she trust in Jesus Christ alone for her salvation.

You don't believe in the efficacy of prayer? I feel very sorry for you. God always hears our prayers. ALWAYS. His mercy is boundless and we may always ask Him for His mercy.

Prayers are never wasted and if you were told that they were then, I repeat, I feel VERY sorry for you. I wonder who taught you that misinformation.
