Note:This topic of discussion may be sensitive to some cultures, thus please respect each others' responses. I was listening to a conversation with my relative yesterday when they said that someone wanted a child so bad that they're willing to get a woman to be the surrogate mother. To me, it was a shocking piece of news as this is not heard of in the Asian culture, though I know a few wouldn't mind paying thousands to have a friend, stranger or family member get pregnant and give birth to their child.
