The “medical” and legal lobby in favor of the legislation, and likely who lobbied for it favorably with the Dims, are the big winners.
Just as foreigners (mostly Chinese) flock to Casinos in American Guam, while the woman is pregnant and about to deliver, the lawyers and the surrogate professionals in Washington state will gain business from across the U.S. and from foreigners as well. Washington state will become the mecca for surrogacy. Whose the beneficiaries, some individual U.S. citizens? No, the “medical” and legal lobbies are the big winners.
California already sees a number of cases like this.
And they don’t just do it for the citizenship. Some do it because surrogacy is illegal in their home countries.
