Anyone watching Oprah?

very interesting.

if not, it's about surrogacy. Where people go to India to put their embrios into a woman who spends most of her time while pregnant lying in a bad at the clinic to protect this "huge investment".
I think i'll be sick now.

Yep. I find it interesting that Oprah has a look of disgust on her face as well as the tone in her voice that she wants to cry for the women being used by this sick couple.
Edit: You know whats running through Oprah's head. Look how the slaves were treated here in the US. They were used just like these people are. |

I'm not sure what I think about it. I was immediately repulsed when I heard about it, but watching the woman show off her house with such pride and talk about how her life was changed forever... well she didn't seem to feel exploited.
I have a friend here in the US who chose to be a surrogate and I never once even thought of her being exploited. I know my friend is smart and will think things through, so while I questioned her decision I never questioned whether she was being taken advantage of. I guess my thought is what does that say about my thinking that I automatically assume these women in developing countries are being exploited. They are smart women too, who made a choice to do this to change their lives by helping someone else... and they seem happy with their decision.
Again I still am not sure how I feel about it. I know it's not something I would do. The whole thing makes me feel kind of "icky" but the show was very thought provoking. |

I saw it the first time it came on. It is a wonderful opportunity for the woman from India because of the deplorable living conditions. It gave her an chance to better the lives of her and her family. It is also a wonderful opportunity for the couple wanting a child. As I remember the mother said - You can't judge someone until you have been in their shoes. If you want a child more than anything else in the world you don't know to what extremes you will go to until you are faced with obstacles. |

No, I'm not watching it. However, according to the recent studies, frozen embryos are healthier than fresh embryos. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/07/080708080707.htm
