For me, it’s because of the many, many ways it can go wrong. First off, a lot of people go into these surrogacies with no contract, leaving neither party protected.

My only issue with egg donation is that you rarely hear about the risks.

If you don’t plan on having kids- and especially if you have few health issues, ivy league/exceptional talent/high iq, or sought after features it can be an amazing option.
