The surrogate in this situation is Cohen's sister in law, I think it's safe to say she'll be a part of the child's life if she wants to be, so maybe you should complain about this issue to someone else

Also, in a majority of cases, surrogates are employed by cishet couples In many of these cases the wife is able to produce ova but unable to conceive, and is therefore the egg donor for the pregnancy So the child does not have, by your definition, a single "real mother"

This reminds me of this situation I encountered when I was a kid when an adult I knew was opining how if we ever got to the point where we could grow kids in vats, it'd be a tragity because those kids would miss out on bonding with their mothers in the womb?

Perhaps you should read Brave New World which deals with this very situation.

Ah, yes, I also get all my bioethics from sexist men from the 1930s who desperately wanted to live under a tree on a tropical island somewhere

Cool, so don't tell people to read it like that's a slam-dunk answer to a moral question

Love it when people's critique of reprotech comes from some neurotic Englishman's completely imaginary dystopian vision of it he wrote in a science fiction novel, based on absolutely zero personal experience or real-life evidence (the fucking Pill was 30 years in the future)
