It would make sense not to allow you (not you personally, in fact anyone) to have a child with a "surrogate", i.e. a mother who deliberatly chooses before conception to play no role in raising that child.


So a straight couple who can't have kids should be barred from using a surrogate?


Sure, I believe that no person should be conceived with the deliberate intention of one or both of his/her genetic parents* playing a fully meaningful parenting role in his/her life.

*or gestational mother in the case of a non-traditional surrogate


So what do we do with people who were conceived and subsequently born after drunken fumbles, or where a condom was used but failed?


My comment has nothing to do with unintentional conception.


Actually they are, e.g., in Germany. (If memory serves me right.)
