Hardcore troubadour 15,449 Posted July 21, 2023 My ruling on this is if the baby was not provided life saving treatment as per request, then yes, this couple is responsible for it’s death, amongst others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheNewGirl 1,496 Posted July 21, 2023 The procedure used to birth the baby may not have been specified because there are a few things they can do. If they induce, which is done via certain drugs causes contractions in the uterus, baby is burned. Now, if they only used drugs that simply dilate the cervix, these are used moreso in actual abortions. So, if they tell you what drugs she used for birthing the baby, they will make assumptions on the outcome. Stating that she got to hold him, and he died shortly after (to me, as a woman) implies that it was an induction of a baby that wasn't developed enough (probably lungs) to live. Life saving care could have included anything but the chances of a baby surviving at 25 weeks is incredibly low. They didn't wan their DNA out there (this implies that one of the men supplied the sperm) with her raising the child. They didn't want to keep the baby because he now has "cancer genes" or whatever? Well, then perhaps they shouldn't do this again, because you really don't know if you have "cancer" genes even if one of your parents dies from it. I guess it depends on the contract she signed and how legal it was for them to tell her to terminate/induce early, knowing that the baby's chances of living were VERY slim. What if he lived? Would they still not want him because of the cancer gene? Would they still not allow her to keep the baby? Would they actually choose to purposely kill the baby if he had survived and not needed life saving methods? The other issue I have is that they clearly were all about it being THEIR baby, so the mother's choices or decisions didn't matter; kind of removing her power of choice. If that's what the future of surrogacy is, then yes...surrogacy can be a much more slippery slope, down to controlling what the woman does; exercise, food, etc. Perhaps they shouldn't use surrogacy if they feel the need to terminate a pregnancy that doesn't meet their expectations (would they also terminate if they discovered it has Downs Syndrome)? And perhaps she shouldn't have been a surrogate because her choices and decisions were completely removed when it came to the baby and she wasn't happy about that.

And perhaps she shouldn't have been a surrogate because her choices and decisions were completely removed when it came to the baby and she wasn't happy about that. I’ve seen some people online claim that the survival rate at 25 weeks is 80% but I would assume if that’s actually accurate that it’s lower for mothers getting treated for cancer. Of course we don’t know the answers to the questions in your third paragraph. The second paragraph to me just becomes a pretty typical abortion debate. Unfortunately many couples will terminate a pregnancy (as long as legal within the state) if they find out it has health issues. Heck my brother-in-law and his wife are probably the most right-wing people I know and said they would do that (they just had a baby last year). What we also don’t really know here is if the couple’s concern was only that they didn’t want a baby with potential health issues. Maybe they were concerned with the health of the surrogate mother and didn’t want it on their conscience if something happened to her while trying to have their baby, even if she wanted to.
