Thanks for the Hoax
The last entry I posted, which has now been turned to private, talked about a supposed mom who was trying to save her children (twins) from adopters. That story turned out to be more complicated than I'd thought. Turns out, from what I have read in the fine print, that the supposed mom wasn't a mom at all, but was, rather, a rented uterus. The sperm and egg that made the twins had little if anything to do with the rented uterus. Duh! I'd think this was an important part of the story! But it was fine print in a couple of newspapers and not mentioned in others. A uterus renter who pretends to be a mom has lost my respect. However, she does bring up an important point--the supply and demand of babies and baby econ's sad results. Well, I have much more sympathy for the real mom in Florida who is about to lose her child to an adoption agency than for a woman who was paid to carry children for someone else. I just wish that mainstream media would be more honest about things, but then again, painting the rented uterus as a mom makes natural mothers look like raving lunatics and adopters seem like rightful owners. So, perhaps I smell an agenda here . . . . hmmm.
