Just for the record, there are a surprising number of rich people who are paying other people to have children for them. It's not for medical reasons, but for cosmetics and convenience. It actually is pretty weird imo.
That sounds like something tabloids would say but has little relationship to the truth. If you got hard numbers I will look at them and you can prove me wrong.
I'm not trying to sensationalize -- if the pope meant to shame gay couples or couples with health concerns, then that's ridiculous. But people do use surrogates for other reasons, too. Just Google search celebrities and surrogacy. I know some of the Kardashians have said they used surrogates, and I'm sure there are others.
The heterosexual couple I know are not celebrities, but they are obscenely wealthy. They now have two children who were born like 8 months apart, haha, both borne by surrogates. There were no health issues for the woman in the couple -- just convenience and the desire to avoid the normal health issues that pregnancy causes.
Anecdotal. Watch as I dismiss it.
Doesn't make it untrue, but I hear you. It seems nuts.
