Creating Families
There are so many families out there that cannot have their own kids but so badly want to. According to the CDC, about 10 percent of women have trouble getting pregnant. Being infertile can make women extremely depressed. Some people dream of having kids their whole life, so when that is taken away from them it is no surprise that they are devastated. Although United States birthrates are down, the desire to have children has held steady. Only 6 percent of people aged 18-40 said they did not have or did not want children at some point in their life. Having a child is a right of passage in life for many. They want to reproduce to keep their family lineage going. Some want to give their children a better life than they had, they want to be able to provide for someone else what was not provided for them. Some people even say that having children is their purpose in life. Whatever the reasoning is, it is clear that people mostly enjoy and want to have kids and that for those that can not, it is devastating. For this reason, those who can become a surrogate should consider doing so in order help people have the fulfilling lives they want. Surrogates are unsung heroes. They often do not get the credit they deserve. They carry someone else’s baby and deliver a child to parents and they do so very humbly and unassuming. Surrogates are near the top of the ethical standard for this reason. It is so hard to do heroic work and not get all the prizes and gratification that heroic work should and often does give. If one chooses to become a surrogate, they are choosing to become a hero. Surrogates provide a service that nobody or nothing else can do. To become a surrogate is to change the dynamic of family, give people the opportunities to live out their dreams, and relieve people with fertility issues.
