Surrogate Mothers



A case of human artificial insemination was recorded as long ago as 1799. But in recent years this has come to be more widely practiced. According to The New York Times, a woman who is artificially inseminated and bears a child for another woman, as a substitute for her, is called a surrogate mother. The infertile wife and her husband agree to this arrangement, and when the surrogate mother gives birth the baby is adopted by the couple. The sperm in this case could be from the husband of the couple or from another donor.



Although such an arrangement may be approved by many in the world, the Christian rightfully asks whether it is in harmony with God’s laws. The Bible, at Leviticus 18:20, is clear on this point when it says: “You must not give your emission as semen to the wife of your associate to become unclean by it.” Artificial insemination of a woman by a donor other than her legal husband, makes her guilty of adultery, a sin against God. (Deuteronomy 5:18) The sperm donor and the surrogate woman have not been yoked together by God in matrimony.—Matthew 19:4-6.
Using one - I can't say I've ever been in the shoes of a couple that is heartbroken because they cannot conceive so I can't really say if I would resort to using a surrogate mom.



Being one - I considered it once (my husband opposed) for a friend that was in her early forties and had no chance of becoming a mom. She eventually had a true miracle of her own. I would have to know the person and truly care for them before I would go through the health complications of being pregnant and it not being my child.What is your opinion on surrogate mothers, either using one or being one?
I think it would be hard for the birth mother under any circumstances, to give up the baby with no further contact, unless she just had a mind to do that.



I think if a couple can find one, and can form a good relationship - of trust and understanding, I think it's fine to have one.
If a couple want to have children, and cannot, then I guess they will do what they have to do. I have no concern with people making arrangements to have children. I have kids, I am very happy because of them, and I do not begrudge them that.
Using one - Just adopt, damnit. There are already too many poor, unloved kids in the world.



Being one - Still an admirable thing to do.
Terrific! That's a lot of pain and sacrifice and work for another couple's happiness. Brightest blessings to them.
I cannot answer this question. I feel strongly that we are 'playing' God here. If it is the Lord's will, they shall be blessed with children. There are far too many children who can be adopted.
Why have the nursey without using the playpen?
Sure. Why Not?
