>you will probably also have issues with the child that isn't biologically yours.
>Why not just adopt at that point?
You... You literally just answered your own question.
Either that or I misunderstood your point.
I probably could have phrased it better, but what I meant to say was:Do you actually see children as people? Or are they just an extension of you? That is exactly how clinical narcissists think. You're supposed to have children out of love, not because you worship genetics or muh bloodline. You "muh genes" people sound like a narcissistic anime villain when you talk like this. If that's really how you feel it's a good thing you're not reproducing because you're too self-absorbed to be a parent.
If you value passing on your genetics so much that you are willing to choose surrogacy over adoption, wouldn't you still have issues with the child being either 0% or 50% yours genetically? And if you don't value passing on your genetics, why wouldn't you just adopt? Surrogacy seems to be the worst of both adoption and regular births.
I'm pretty sure that IVF is different from and, in my opinion, not comparable to surrogacy.Besides, there are different kinds of surrogate pregnancies. As far as I understand, in the case of straight couples, they take woman's egg, fertilise it with her husband's sperm, and just "grow" said egg (an embryo at that point) in surrogate mother's womb. In this case the child is a 100% biological offspring of their parents. But in the gay case it's 1/2, yes. But as I said, better than nothing.
