One question that comes to mind is just how rare is surrogacy in the modern world?
It’s certainly not unheard of, but aside from wildlife conservation this is perhaps the first article I’ve read devoted entirely to a surrogate birth. Yet at the same time, we’ve been doing these sorts of procedures for some decades now, and I’m curious just how common or uncommon these types of procedures really are.
I suppose it’s just one of those things that exists out of sight and out of mind - like not realizing just how many blind people there are in the world, or not being aware of the actual prevalence of various “exotic” diseases, that sort of thing. Is there anyone professionally familiar with this topic that might shed some light on a few things?
