Womb for Hire

Watch out Moms, our jobs are about to be outsourced... to single, middle-aged men. Single, professional men are forgoing Moms entirely when it comes to parenthood, according a story in Sunday's New York Post.

Alone and eager to start a family, these dads-to-be are doling out
as much as $90,000 to hire surrogate mothers to carry their offspring.
These men, cosmopolitan, professionals in their 40s and 50s, say they grew tired of waiting for the perfect partner to come along and decided that they didn't need marriage to have a baby.

Their argument sounds familiar: Women facing down the biological clock have taken the sans men option for years. Is the only difference that men need to hire a womb? What do you think of these new Mr. Moms?

Just thinking about your story on fake sperm and now dads with no moms, moms with no dads…pretty soon we’re just going to be growing humans from cocoon pods or something!

This is turning into The Matrix.

The evolution of humanity is becoming stranger all the time! But it is very interesting to know that men also want to be a parent, even sans partner. I just wonder about all the children who will never be able to know their biological mom or dad. I suppose that somewhere down the line, there are going to be so many offspring with only a sperm/egg donor for one of their parents that it won’t matter.

Good site. Enjoyable reading. I’ve just got a small thing to offer about tee shirts.
