It looks like she was picking out her American doll or a build a bear. Yea hope you’re right about medical reasons. If they can share the post with the background music and all they can also say why they went that route
Why does she need to explain anything? Maybe she simply didn't want to. None of anyone else's business.
She doesn’t. But if it truly was none of our business then I guess instagram may not be the place to show your private life(you can filter things for just friends and family)? The clip clearly shows that she didn’t give birth, then clearly doesn’t say why. Sure they don’t have to say, but they can’t be that clueless about curiosity.
Congratulations with an op-ed against surrogacy? It may be "problematic" in your mind, but it's not going away.
Have you ever considered why its illegal in most of the world? No seriously think of it. This is just another way of the rich exploiting poor women. I do not need to write an opinion piece on it because the consensus on this is well established but in the US no one cares. Even the social justice crowd seems fine because it benefits the rich.
Its illegal to sell parts of your bodies e.g. for Organ donation. Surrogacy and pregnancy in general are some of the highest risk to die for women. No one that is not financially desperate would ever take that risk on. So its just exploiting women from poor background even more so.
I'm not even for banning it completely. But it needs to be strictly regulated and only for medical reasons of absolute infertility.
Oh, I see. Your intention here was to castigate Emma for exploiting an impoverished woman. Fair enough.
Guys, this is her CHILD. It’s not something to hide because it’s your private life- everyone is going to notice she has a CHILD now. Pregnancy and birth are incredibly complex and we have no clue why they chose this path. However there are many many reasons to do so and those reasons are none of our business, even if she is acknowledging the child exists. It is arguably commendable to shed light on the fact that people take many paths to parenthood. Massive congratulations to her whole family. She is clearly over the moon and that is exactly who should be parents.

It’s none of your business if we ask questions either.

It’s a risky profession, but it also seems like a great way to make a lot of money. I don’t see how that’s exploitative if someone does it voluntarily. Being a stunt double is also risky. Do you think stunt doubles are exploited?
No one here knows why she did it or who carried the baby. When you post about having a child, you do not need to describe how you made the child or include pictures of that to convince the skeptics. Publicizing the fact that you have a child in no way entails that you also share any private details about it.

Many people don’t have a problem with it. You do you. Let them do theirs. Don’t impose your sense of right and wrong on others

Plenty of people in the public eye have children without including them for social media content creation. There's nothing automatically right or wrong about that, it's just a choice. It's a choice that comes with natural consequences, either way. It's not like Emma invented the idea that being a mother could be a marketing angle, we've seen it notably with Allyson Felix among others.
Often times the carrier will pump milk and the parents will freeze it. Or there's also formula, which is fed to millions of babies who are born the traditional route for various reasons and they all turn out just fine.

Surrogacy is regulated at the state level, with some states choosing to permit it in all cases. The idea that we should highly restrict the decisions of adults on either the supply or demand side of this is ridiculous. Maybe it makes sense for people drawn to the simples of sports, but these messages boards are truly full of some of the most remarkable simpletons on the internet.

I really am happy for Emma Coburn, but I completely agree that this is ethically dicey territory and needs more discussion.
Modern society is really struggling to square equality and difference when it comes to sex. Wealthier people can sustain the fiction that embodied sex differences don't matter by offloading reproductive labor and childrearing onto poorer women. This includes couples facing infertility or health issues that make pregnancy dangerous, those who don't want to interrupt a career, and gay men who cannot have a child outiside of adoption or surrogacy. In many of these cases, we see that "equality" is available to people with money and that it involves the commodification of the female body. And, this is occuring in which some radical but influential people are arguing that being female has nothing to do with the body.
I recognize that some women are not coerced into commodifying their bodies, but it's probably rare for a women to put a price tag on sex or her childbearing capacity if she is completely healthy and financially stable.
So, I am ambivalent. I believe in bodily autonomy, but I have serious questions about some forms of body commodification. Pregnancy and childbirth are particularly dicey becuase it involves a fetus/baby who cannot yet weigh in on the decision but will experience the consequences (both positive and negative) of these policies.

"but it's probably rare for a women to put a price tag on sex or her childbearing capacity if she is completely healthy and financially stable." .... Yes, if only everyone were completely healthy and financially stable, people would make all sorts of different decisions, wouldn't they? Let's start regulating adults' decisions on the assumption that everyone is a priori completely healthy and financially stable. Should work out well.
She blocked me today on instagram when I asked about reasons of surrogacy and what is the reason of no natural birth. Mentioned also how perfectly directed these instagram reel was and if there is anything on this earth which doesn't need to be recorded any longer ?
