Wasn't this a movie?I could see the advantages the Baby Factory, though. A controlled environment, nurses on call, don't have to worry about the surrogate doing drugs or running away. Seems like it could be a more efficient model for the future.

This is a fair point.
I'm good with the concept, but if Congress isn't proactive to enact laws, the SCOTUS likely would get involved at some point, years down the line. It's better if Congress stepped up.
But that tends to not happen.

One of my wife's best friend's did this about 15 years ago. They paid $60K and got twins out of it. They are healthy and happy, and it worked out great.
I just don't see any issues at all with it. Families get to have kids they otherwise wouldn't, and someone gets to make a little money for carrying those kids around for 9 months.
There's no baby selling going on at all.

My SIL had 5 miscarriages and was told finally a baby wasn't going to happen. They used a surrogate and have an amazing daughter. Baby for sale?
I genuinely don't see a problem with it. I imagine people who object are bringing their own prejudices about who might be getting the baby ultimately. As long as the surrogate is consenting and not in some kind of mad max fury road arrangement....

These are generally issues of state law so the Supreme Court probably wouldn't get involved. I believe some of the issues @bostonfred raised in his post have been litigated in state courts before. For example, Parents Back out on Surrogate Mom With Twins and Surrogate refused to reduce triplet pregnancy.

Some would say marriage, abortion, and baking cakes should be state issues.

Like anything this has the potential to be abused, but on the face of it I am OK with it. Consenting adults each getting something from the situation. This is absolutely not the same as "selling" children.
