Child via surrogate?

[joe552]

I would agree with your priorities.

Just got off the phone with him again, and sure enough, this was a mian point of discussion.

I'm beginning to think the sister just wants some money. A little over 20,000 baht/month to carry a baby? That's not too bad of pay.

No wonder they're opposed to us taking those kids from the village. But not, we're not doing the surrogate route right now, and Leo agrees with me. Let's take those kids from the village first, because they're already here and don't have much hope if they stay there. If we can do good by them, then we'll talk about it. For now, no.

I have a question about surrogacy, inspired by, but not directly related to, Matt's post (how's that for a disclaimer?)

If two gay men want a child via a surrogate, is it possible to mix their sperm, so that they both have a genetic connection to the baby? Currently, only one partner's sperm is used.

[cdnmatt]

No Joe, how would the different sperm decide on which chromosones to use?

[joe552]

Sorry Matt, I don't understand your question. Can you explain a little? I know very little about this, had no sex education at school (thanks Christian Brothers) so only have a vague idea of how it works.

[cdnmatt]

Babies come in the form of chromozones, which come from both, the sperm and the egg. When the sperm penetrates the egg, the chromosones of both mix, and that forms the genetic makeup of the baby. Only one sperm gets into the egg though, and that's it. The fastest little swimmer wins, type of thing.

You can't mix the chromosones of two different sperm together. That's just not how it works.

And don't worry, I don't even have grade 10, let alone a high school diploma.

[joe552]

Thanks,, that's a bit clearer.

Seems to me there are already enough children on the planet. We should be taking care of them before creating new ones.

This is extremely selfish of you, Joe. You'll be dead but but there'll be other older men looking for someone young to fuck, and there has to be enough to go around

Good thing the mods have finally used their Power of Movability to place this thread into lala land rather than let it live in a proper forum.
Cndmatt had now become - in my books - a certifiable message board troll. Taking him seriously is now left in the hands of the the naive few to continue salivating over his every keyboard stroke.
Happy salivatin'.

I've come to think of him as the Billy Graham of the Bitcoin
