Well, that’s what I really don’t get. If they’ve gone the surrogacy route before, with every legal T crossed and I dotted, why skeeve out your staff by dragging them into it? This makes no sense.
I agree, it makes no sense.
There’s sort of a sense, though, that surrogacy is “okay” when it’s to address “infertility.” There’s less of a sense that it’s okay for a 60-year-old man to buy children from a young woman because his wife is too old. As you mentioned, it’s much cheaper and more “normal” just to have sex with the young woman.
