Continued from Page 4
Being a surrogate mother is not, as has been suggested,
the flip side of artificial insemination. Hie infertile
couple has contracted for more from a woman than an
infusion of sperm. The pregnant woman has a stronger
relationship with a fetus than a man has with a vial The
law governing this business, governing this web of parent
ing, is far murkier.
If the Stiver Story has a bizarre twist, there are other
and equally mind-boggling risks. What if the biological
mother decides, as at least two have, to keep the baby
herself? Would a court of law hold that the contract was
more sacred than the mother's rights?
What impact is there on a couple when the man seeks
another woman to bear his child? Hie Malahoffs, it should
be noted, separated when the child he believed was his
was conceived.
What do you tell a child when he or she asks, "Where
did 1 come from?" And what if the baby isn't perfect? Wh
Who holds the final responsibility for a child conceived
through a contract?
In the Stivers home, the boarder is now a son. They've
learned something about chance.
We've learned something about a business and an idea
that encourages people to regard parents as customers
rather than caretakers. We've learned something about
people who look upon motherhood as biological work on
a reproduction line. We've learned to be wary of people
who regard babies as just another product for an eager and
vulnerable market.
