Am I the only one who is really creeped out by the concept of surrogacy where rich people rent a poor woman's uterus like she was some kind of baby-delivering van?
That was meant as a "fun fact", not a "China's family planning policy is great, let's start a struggle session about it". China's family planning policy is obviously pretty bad lol.
I think it's super creepy in that it's exploitative.
Volunteering for surrogacy would be good, even with basic compensation, but this kind of surrogacy is just a job and one that has extreme health risks and risks to being able to have a child in the future. The kind of thing that should be fully within a personal risk category rather than exploiting the desperation of those in poverty.
Imagine a means testing regime where only those with five years of above 2X median income could be surrogates. What would happen to the "industry"?

It feels like it's really narcissistic - you don't really get to choose what your kid is like anyways so doing it based on appearance is kinda BS IMO.

Good clarification. It's not the surrogacy by itself that is creepy, it's the exploitation.
