Two Homos Hired A Surrogate To Create Their 'Dream Family' - By The End Of The Process A Baby Boy Was Dead

Although surrogacy can offer many benefits to those with the desire to be
parents, the gestational period is certainly no small feat for surrogates
bound by contracts with little room for autonomy. However, just as with
natural pregnancies, things don't always go as planned.

One couple stirred a debate after requesting the surrogate terminate her
pregnancy when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Conservative commentator Lila Rose posted a thread shedding light on
recent events where, upon delivery, two prospective fathers denied
critical medical care for their prematurely born child via surrogacy.

“Two men hired surrogate Brittney Pearson to create their ‘dream family,’”
tweeted Rose. “By the end of the process, a 25-week-old baby boy was
murdered.”

At 22 weeks gestation, the California surrogate received the dreadful news
that she was diagnosed with HER2+ breast cancer. Upon receiving the
diagnosis, Pearson’s doctors suggested a plan where she would undergo a
more compatible form of chemotherapy that would not pose any safety
concerns during the pregnancy, which would allow them to proceed with a
labor induction at 34 weeks gestation.

According to the Daily Mail, Pearson alleges that the prospective fathers
were supportive of her receiving treatment and moving forward with the
pregnancy.

The couple felt that delivering prior to 34 weeks would pose a series of
critical health problems for the baby.

On Twitter, Rose shared a screengrab of the email Pearson’s uncle sent
regarding the situation to Jennifer Lahl, president of The Center for
Bioethics and Culture Network, known for her stringent views against
commercialized surrogacy.

The anti-surrogacy group made unverified claims that upon Pearson’s
request to adopt the baby after carrying it to term, the couple refused
due to the unwanted notion of having their “DNA out there” and being
raised by someone else.

“I would have been there, I would have given him every chance of survival,
I had people ready to help,” said Pearson.

Eventually, she managed to find a hospital that would deliver the baby at
25 weeks; however, the prospective fathers who legally had ownership over
the child denied it life-saving care, resulting in the infant dying
shortly after birth.

After having successfully completed one round of surrogacy in the past,
Pearson allegedly shared that her experience as a surrogate made her feel
like “a rented-out uterus” this time around.

Rose wrapped up her thread addressing the situation, as well as surrogacy
in general, as “fundamentally wrong,” further adding, “[Surrogacy] enables
people to act as if they are entitled to other people’s reproductive
abilities - the body of the woman whose womb they are renting. It also
treats children like property to be bought, sold, and killed. This case is
just another example of why.”

People are split on where the blame lies for the death of the 25-week-old
child.
While many were appalled by the couple’s alleged neglect towards the 25-
week-old child, people still felt that the issue wasn’t surrogacy but
rather the constraining laws surrounding it.

In response to Rose’s thread, one woman revealed that her inability to
conceive has made her empathetic toward those who choose the path of
surrogacy despite being unable to afford it. She states, “Surrogacy can be
an incredible gift; I wouldn’t allow 1 horror story to distract from the
hundreds of beautiful stories that result in a child being raised in a
loving and giving home.”

Another person wrote, “Murder is fundamentally wrong. Surrogacy brings
beautiful, wanted children into existence, to the benefit of everyone
involved in the voluntary arrangement. It’s a positive good, and you’d
think 'pro-lifers' who live up to the name would celebrate it.”

“Surrogacy is not ‘fundamentally wrong’. However, there need to be laws
written to protect the surrogate and the unborn child in such scenarios,”
said another.

Others expressed strong views against any form of gestational arrangement
and even blamed the surrogate for being involved. “I have very little
sympathy for Brittany,” read one Tweet. “What the heck did she think two
men would choose to do in this situation. the pregnancy was completely out
of Gods natural order.”

Surrogacy certainly has its lengthy list of pros and cons.
For intended parents seeking out the opportunity to fulfill their dreams
of raising children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to, surrogacy is
certainly one way to do it. Although adoption can arguably serve the same
purpose, some feel that surrogacy enables prospective parents to maintain
genetic connections with their children.

Alternatively, surrogacy can have its share of disadvantages as well. Such
as in the case between Pearson and the prospective fathers, gestational
surrogacy is a complicated process that, if disrupted, can make legally
binding contracts among parties harder to navigate.

On top of that, instances like these raise legitimate concerns surrounding
the negative implications of having a child via commercialized surrogacy
along with the surrogate’s right to autonomy.

In spite of everything, however, Pearson still believes surrogacy can be a
good alternative for hopeful parents. “I wouldn’t do it again, but I still
think surrogacy has a great time and place but [prospective] families need
to be screened a little more.”

They do not sound like good people at all. But a baby born at 25 weeks
needs intensive treatment to survive, if survival is possible. I hope
their reasoning was that they did not want this child to suffer
unnecessarily. I tend to suspect if the hospital thought there was a good
chance of survival without the many issues a baby who is not yet fully
developed my have, they would have intervened. Difficult to know for those
of us outside of the situation.
