I think the article is very interesting, because people would be willing to get pregnant and give the baby to a stranger that was paying them to have the baby. I could not see myself as a global baby, because I would never know my true biological parents are and what were they like. I find sad thought that you can be persecuted in poorer countries, while in the United States, The surrogates can claim their baby if they go to court.
ReplyDeleteThis was very interesting. The fact that this baby to be born comes from several areas around the world and is being monitored by an other area. This just shows how many different countries will be in the babies genes, but I wonder how that will affect how the baby will turn out.
ReplyDeletethe article what is singing maybe wonder how they will turn out.but you confuse me about how the baby us beibgwatching the area but even know it affect on the baby. but I was in figure out how it is not confusing~ julian fitts
ReplyDeleteThis was pretty interesting in a sense but there's always problems with these types of things. There's legal and trust issues and let's not forget how it'll affect the baby while its growing up. You'd have to be very careful about the process of it as well and the baby's safety as well.
ReplyDeleteI thought the article was interesting to read, however I don't understand how people would go through the pain of giving birth than just giving the baby away, but I guess that's their choice. I would hate to be a global baby because I would hate the thought of never knowing who my birth parents were.
ReplyDeleteThis article is very insightful. I’m familiar about this new issue but I have not gone in depth in this issue. To me this controversy is redefining the idea of childbirth. Childbirth it seems has become more of a business than a genuine connection between two people. As this issue continues to grow, original childbirth will have lost all its value and be substituted by this new way of genetically creating babies.
ReplyDeleteThis article was very interesting and stirs up a lot of different opinions on the matter. I personally would hate to be a global baby. Not knowing my biological parents would kill me, and the possibility of having a brother or sister out in the world would also. why would you go through 9 months of carrying a baby inside you just to give it away?
ReplyDeleteThe article was very interesting, and it has a lot of different opinions. But for me i would hate to be a global baby, because if i didn't know my real parents it could even drive me crazy. i don't know what would posses a woman to go through 9 months of carrying a baby inside of her body, then saying she doesn't want it or just give it away. But it happens and that's just the crazy world we live in.
ReplyDeleteThe article was interesting. There was a lot of opinions from many different people. I would hate being a global baby. If I didn't know who my biological parents were I would go crazy. I can't imagine what the children would think when they got old enough to understand what happened. I would think the children would think their parents didn't want them or didn't care about them. I don't know why a woman would just give up their child after carrying it for 9 months.
ReplyDeleteThis was a very weird but interesting article to read. My opinion on being a global baby, is that I wouldn't want to be one, because I would I always wonder and want to know who my biological parents are. And I think it is just crazy to be pregnant with a baby and then just give it away like it meant nothing.
ReplyDeleteI dont think that it is good for the baby to never even get the option of meeting their birth mother. I also dont like how it is not safe for some of the women carring their baby to change their mind. They could get in serious trouble in some countries and I dont find it right that they are forced to give up their child. I think that if a couple wants a child and cannot have one then they should adopt.
ReplyDeleteThis article is a little weird but interesting. I would hate being a global baby. I cant imagine my mom carrying me for nine months then to give me away like I meant nothing to her. I would feel so incomplete not knowing were I came from.
ReplyDeleteThe article is very wierd I can't believe what this world has come to that people would want to pick their children characteristic. I do not understand why people would care that much god gives what he gives you and it very expensive for this service and can have many complications.
ReplyDeletei wouldn't want to be a global baby or a donor. i don't see why you would get a egg from a women and carry it and then give it away. to me i just say hey get married and keep it or whatever you want i just don't understand you going through pain and child birth of someone baby then giving it away to someone else.

The article was very different. I don't think i would want to give up a baby that i just carried for 9 months no matter how much money you would be offering me. I wouldn't want to be global baby either knowing that my mom just gave me up because the money was the right amount. Now I don't think its fair that you have given up your baby to a couple and then later you decide you want the baby back i do not think that is the right then to do.
ReplyDeleteWell, this sort of thing has been going on for a while, but never in this manner. Getting a donor to help an infertile couple is rather common, but doing it like this is almost like baby farming. If a couple can't have a baby, they should just adopt. Lord knows there are more than enough children in need of a family.
ReplyDeleteI'm adopted so I know the feeling this child will have when they can't find out who their parents are. But I have found out what my origin is and have gotten some closure. But I pray for this child and hope that they don't freak out when they hear their story.
