Moral psychology question: should the egg donor, who's actually related to the boy, have a say in all this?https://thefederalist.com/2019/10/24/why-its-probably-not-a-coincidence-that-the-mother-transing-her-7-year-old-isnt-biologically-related/#.XbGqwUWysis.facebook …

That’s an interesting idea re: fracturing the mother role. I’m wrestling with this question and your comment is helping me sort it out. I wonder if that necessitates a hierarchy of interests/authority amongst the roles. Thanks for the insight!

Deep question. Many, many facets. (Who owns your DNA and the history of the HeLa cells; Libertarianism and the separation of family and State; Psychological adaptations for kin recognition; Daly and Wilson book; Etc. etc.)

Yes. The father has the right and duty to defend his child.

That's not even what was asked.

No. The mother is the person who rears, loves and fights for her child, certainly not the egg layer.
