Stop defending the indefensible. Do you think only sperms and eggs make a child to develop? What about the feeding, blood and other nutrients that the baby is deriving from the body of the surrogate? Oh that is not required? So why dont they deposit their eggs and sperms in a goat instead?

Ok, you're right. You're a genius.

Bring a screenshot of the definition here, no time for beer parlour talks.

Bro, I'm not interested in bantering with you, I'm only doing this to prevent others from being misinformed by your crass ignorance and utter disdain for knowledge. After this I won't reply you.

No matter the terminologies or how you try to sugarcoat it, any woman who provides the egg, is biologically the mother of the child.

The parents provide the sperm and egg, the surrogate is just the vessel for carrying the pregnancy.

Maybe I was wrong, can you provide us with the appropriate definition?

I just did. Please check again. And I think I should know better as it's my line of work. And I'm only countering you so you can stop the misinformation, so you don't end up discouraging so many women out there who find it difficult to have children of on their own. Otherwise I'd have just kept quiet and keep scrolling.

I don't want to say what's on my mind. However, this is double standards coming from Chimamanda who is a self acclaimed feminist. Is she not supposed to be a voice for women being a feminist?. Surrogacy is a form of slavery, prostitution, exploitation of a woman's body. She knew she didn't practice what she preaches, little wonder she didn't come out earlier. Like it or not, accept it or not, any baby born through surrogacy does not belong to you biologically. No matter how some states or countries might legalize it, biologically, the child isn't yours still. Well, I wish her well. But next time, stay one place, if you want to practice feminism, do it with your full chest, otherwise, commot. Reminds me of Linda Ikeji preaching abstinence but lo and behold, aunty was busy jumping on Uber to go and collect. I hate double standards.

Did you even check the meaning of surrogacy before posting this? Let me explain it to you in it's most basic form: The husband's sperm is taken from him, the wife's egg is taken from her, they are joined together through a process called in vitro fertilization in the lab, and then this is inserted into the surrogate's (a consenting, well paid adult female) womb.

Now tell me, does this look like the process you just described above?
