Sometimes I think God IS giving us the knowledge to know that if we CANNOT MAKE our own babies, 1) we should adopt, or 2) we should not have children of our own. This seems like screwing with mother nature (God) for a personal desire. It’s not like we are saving someone’s life (heart surgery or liver transplant)....it’s the desire to HAVE SOMETHING. JMHO.

That’s something to seriously think about, too.

Rent-a-womb? Would that be a womb with a view?

I wonder what the big deal is - if consenting adults want to hire a womb to carry their child; why is it so wrong? Sure, it’s weird; but is it morally wrong? If so, why?
If a very poor woman in India gets paid $15,000, or the equivalent of ten years of working at a factory to carry another couple’s baby, how twisted are we to condemn her? She uses the money to build a home for her family and help her children get medical care or go to school.
I have learned not to be too judgmental about what poor people do to survive. While a Mormon missionary in the Philippines, I remember a very poor woman who was abandoned by her husband to fend for their four kids. They were so poor she couldn’t afford to feed them, send them to school, or even buy slippers for their feet. She had to resort to prostitution just to take care of her children.
Which then is immoral - letting her children starve or sell her body to take care of them?
The same thing with these poor women in India. They get money for carrying another couple’s child. I’ve seen enough poverty and human cruelty in the world to know I really cannot condemn them for what they’re doing.

Well said. He does give us options, of all imaginable, while at the same time He offers us discernment. To know things is a simple task. To know His mind only comes through understanding one of His other gifts. Discernment...which comes through the Holy Spirit which we must be open to.
Happy New year

Damned if
Ricardo wasn't right. Comparative advantage: each country will specialize in what it does best.
And I understand that India's reproductivity rate is skyrocketing.

Well,it's not unnatural, in fact, quite the contrary, to succumb to the desire to have
biological progeny. In fact, this is the strongest force there is, in all living systems, directly or indirectly.
Adoption is not for all. Adoption is a very big sacrifice, and not all can make it.
