Personally, I consider it ‘progressive’ purely in a medical and scientific sense. If the woman I marry turns out to not be able to carry a child to term, but has no problems with her ovaries and eggs, I’d seek out a surrogate to carry a child.

Though, that’s purely hypothetical. To be honest, I kinda want my DNA to end with me. For personal reasons.

I’m Catholic, and the link below is much of which I base my beliefs on regarding this issue.

Using another person, usually for payment to obtain a child is to me wrong. It debases what should be a bonding between husband, wife and child. If we look at the history of surrogates, it seems to me to be fraught with sorrow.

Because we are able to do something does not mean that we should do it.

God bless you, friend.
