It is absolutely relevant to this discussion because we’re talking about paid surrogacy. You can’t ignore the economics involved because it’s philosophically inconvenient to your argument. Bodily autonomy isn’t some fucking trump card you can lay down any time you don’t want to consider the real material conditions…

I think you’re thinking of “Visions” cookware. It’s not the same material as Pyrex, although the brand is owned by Pyrex:

As I’ve said elsewhere, you aren’t entitled to a genetic copy of yourself. Sometimes shit doesn’t work out. Poor people don’t exist for your wish fulfillment.

You’re the second person who refused to name your price.

So how much is your uterus worth, to rent?

I have a lot of theories why. Mostly because rich people have a hard time accepting “no” as an answer. Keeping up with the Joneses is toxic. Outdated attitudes about a woman’s purpose in life. The abortion debate bring flattened to the most digestible message to the broadest audience (bodily autonomy) in order to be…

“Nature” and you, the infertile individual, are two separate things.

And I asked earlier, what is your price? Enlighten us.

No, I’m a person who values women as whole beings. I don’t see their reproductive system as a separate commodity to buy and sell, as it is connected to their entire body and mind and the implications of pregnancy are potentially life threatening and absolutely life-changing. In addition, we aren’t owed children…

I’m a woman, half-wit.

By all means, go on.

So your solution is to make more babies with poor women, rather than fewer?

If you can’t have a baby, then you can’t have a baby. The universe doesn’t owe you a baby, you psycho. If you refuse to adopt, then accept that you won’t be a parent.

What you are typing aren’t easy words at all. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot. I’m sorry you suffered childhood trauma. I hope you get the help you need to recover.

It’s not as if they are recruiting poor people to carry babies against their will.

Organ donation for profit is illegal.

Never said it wasn’t. But those children exist in the present and need homes.

But only if they have the money to pay for it. And you already said you wouldn’t sell your kidney. So I imagine the cost is pretty high if you, who thinks kidney selling is a good idea, wouldn’t sell your own kidney.

I donate platelets and plasma. I don’t sell them. It’s kind of a pain in the ass. I have to hold still for 2 hours (which, if you’ve ever had to hold still for that long during a donation, you’d know how much it sucks), I’m short so the arm rests on the bed are very uncomfortable as I have to hyperextend my elbow to…

Oh, I fully believe her fleet of nannies will handle that icky stuff, too.
