Don't lose your figure! Just impregnate an Indian woman!

So. What with the recession hard pressed Westerners are now spending their money in India. £5000 buys you nine months of an Indian mother's time, risk and effort so you can avoid actually being pregnant yourself. Because they implant your fertilised egg it's still you and your other half's baby.

I already struggle with Surrogacy. To be honest this now seems very much like exploitation. Pregnancy is not without risk - £5K doesn't seem a lot for that...

As morally dubious as that is, have you seen the pictures of that bloke in a manhole, covered in st?

However bad your day was. Take comfort. This guy's was worse. I've seen it.

Even that, though, has the moral foundation of being a necessary job. This is not a stty job that somebody must do.

Given what I know of India (a little bit as the wife is from there) that sort of money for doing largely bugger all is a dream job for your average country peasant in India.

At least you know your child will have one of the best immune systems on the planet!

£5k is allot of money to a poor indian woman. If both sides benefit from the deal where is the 'exploitation'?

I know, I know. Consenting adult. Market price. I ought to be thinking it's a fair deal. It's irrational that I don't - but I don't. Something about no amount of money being commensurate with the risk of carrying a child that isn't even your own!

Many jobs, particularly in the 3rd world, are risky and the pay is allot less than £5k a year.

In the Telegraph article they say that it appeals to lower middle class women, not those in slums.

another topic for the moral police!

And you just know that whilst here, your choice of surrogatge is an 18yr old smoking drunk off a council estate, over there, the £5k gets you a fully qualified lawyer with a medical and vetenary degree with IQ of 234!
But would the £5k persuade her to give up the cleaning job she has for HSBC!?

To be frank, how hard can being pregnant be? Answer: Piss easy, almost all women manage it after all.

Basically it's a little bit of back pain for a couple of months and a nuisance stretching of the best part of your body which ultimately affects your poor partner a lot more than you [oh and they don't need new clothes cause saris stretch]... if someone gave me the equivalent of £5k in India here, which is probably around £50k, I'd do it (if I were a woman)... it's just printing money really.

Your PH name sums it up really. Now, where's that popcorn?

I'm not wrong though. Cows give birth... heck, so do gerbils. It's possibly slightly unpleasant but it remains a piece of piss to do

What a hero!! I am going to print out your post to show my wife in a few weeks when she is in the Labour ward

If it's not morally wrong to pay a stranger to carry your baby inside their body for 9 months. Is it still morally wrong to pay a stranger to carry your cock inside their body for 10 minutes.
