Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
My husband is dead set against it, but I feel compelled to be a surrogate mother.
  • What if...

    • She has a problem during pregnancy that requires total bedrest, and can't even take care of their three children? Or if she's employed, she can't work, and they lose that income? Who takes care of her family and children?
    • After amnio, it's discovered that the child has Down Syndrome and her sister and hubby want her to have an abortion?
    • Sister and husband die in a car crash during the pregnancy?
    • Sister and husband get divorced during the pregnancy?
    • After delivery, it's discovered that the child has some serious disability, and sister and husband renege on their agreement, leaving the sister to file for child support and raise the child herself?
    • She dies in childbirth?

    Seriously, Cary, you don't think the husband should be a willing partner in this?
