I haven't yet seen anyone else point out:

If the embryo was tested, they would know the sex before transferring it to the surrogate uterus (easily avoiding the problem). IVF is insanely expensive, as are surrogates. (Surrogates go for $50k plus per pregnancy)

Whoever did this comic is so willfully (and woefully) ignorant on so many levels that I wonder how they're able to function at all

Yeah, and the cost is dependant upon location. Surrogates tend to be women who have easy (or easier) pregnancies, who want to help other people in need.

I'm not saying that desperation or exploitation don't happen, just that generally surrogates are people who are doing it out of love for other people (not for the money)

Not disagreeing with your comment, but $50k??? That's IT??

What a fucking insult. That is some straight up exploitative shit.

That's just the cash payment. All of the medical stuff is paid for, usually further amenities so the surrogate maintains low stress and such for the health of the baby.

If it makes you feel better, it's usually more. There are a lot of factors, including how much the surogacy agency gets for their cut, which state or country, if they are a family member or friend, whether the parents are able to add a surrogate on their insurance, etc.

We looked into it because I'm older and thus higher risk, but ultimately decided against it. My neice even offered to carry our kid, but I just feel too guilty. I'm kind of whatever on having children but my husband has dreamed of being a dad since he was a lil' boy

That's why you get a woman from a third world country that can retire in leisure on these $50k.

It's illegal in many countries to test for sex before birth to prevent an imbalance.

Care to back that up, in particular with regards to IVF? Because that sounds like bullshit
