Hi Jackie:
The story revolves around a man who divorced the woman, and since has
refused to pay child support for the baby that was conceived via the way
I explained. He said that he wasn't legally the childs father. The
court saw it otherwise, and has ordered him to pay support. It is a
landmark case, because this has never come up before.
The egg and sperm was from an anonymous donor, I am not sure about the
surrogate though.
I hadn't thought about the things you mentioned, and they do make a lot
of sense. But I also tend to lean with you about the designer part. :(
There is a place in Escondido which collects and freezes sperm from men
who are in the highest IQ rating as possible, also from famous people.
Women can go there and get impregnated by these men's sperms, by picking
out who or what they desire. It is perfectly legal. It has been there
for years and still is thriving.
Then we have the cryonics place here in Riverside, where they freeze the
bodies, to bring them back later. They have a few heads too. <BG>
Want to come visit? <BEG>
