Came on to make this point, too!

My suspicion is that the couple already knew there were genetic risks, which is why they chose international surrogacy in the first place.

They usually do test! This on top of the fact that they never even MET their surrogate and went through an agency that has yet to pay her tells me this couple is irresponsible and shitty.

So basically they asked her to commit a crime and jeopardize her freedom and ability to care for her children. They then proceeded to abandon their child when she wouldn't. Asshole is too kind a word for these parents. They need to be named and shamed!!!!

I strongly feel she shouldn't be pushed into abortion, (I don't know much about Thai abortion availability and expense), but the parents should have had to take responsibility, either by arranging for the child to be adopted or by taking him herself, it's still their biological child. I agree about the need for better…

I feel like, if you are looking into surrogacy, you should make it clear in the contract before inserting fertilized eggs that you have no interest in raising any potential disabled children, so that the surrogate knows going into it that she might have to abort, keep the disabled child, or give it up for adoption. …

I have a theory. People are not so much into hugging paintings as cute exotic animals.

Honestly I don't think it's that hard to explain at all. They were both drug and alcohol users who were really into kinky sex. The incest part is just random — they clearly didn't know how to have safe kinky sex, so perhaps they got together because they literally thought they were the only two people in the world…

What does spike my attention here is that there is no mention of other evidence in relation to the murder. Could be that the police got lazy, or there was a third party involved; but in either case it seems unlikely that this random guy turned out to be a psycho and decided to kill her while drunk and managed to get…

I guess he really believes in those Conservative family values. No, wait...

I thought he sounded eerily similar to Johnny Truant from House of Leaves.

I am not going to read the article because this guys nuts, but does he express any shame after this disclosure - for embarrassing himself, his marriage, his children? Does he understand that the breathtakingly beautiful "Eurasian" woman needs a sugar daddy? I'm embarrassed for him. This was painful to read.

I'm from the South so my reactions were basically this:

Segregation Now, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever and can you please let me motorboat you?

Dear Ben Stein,

So the real way to win Ben Stein's money is to be a hot woman with a sob story. Got it.

Then women who oppose this decision represent a small group of women? Most adult women in my life use birth control to — control their fertility. Why is this controversial? Why is family planning controversial?
