Good luck to him. It seems a perfectly reasonable choice. I genuinely don't understand people like Sylviane Agacinski who object to surrogacy, saying it's against human rights.If you were rich, wanted kids and didn't have a long time partner what would you do?
If a woman has the right over her own body to have an abortion then she has the right to be a surrogate. And, while I'm about it, both sexes have the right to be prostitutes if they so wish. You can't have it one way when it suits you and another when it doesn't.
