Can trying to get pregnant be considered unethical?
As someone who has been in healthcare for over 23 years, I don’t believe it is unethical at all. The problem with adoption is that many people are looking for newborns, rather than older children. Surrogacy can work, but there are times when it does not and the surrogate does not want to fulfill her contract and keeps the baby. What I do find unethical is people like the “octomom” and her doctor who inseminated her. I think the doctor should have his license revoked, and I can imagine down the line the gynecological problems she will have, if she doesn’t already. I don’t think her doctor had the right to inseminate her knowing her situation, and she definately wasn’t of sound mind to even seek insemination in this case.I think her situation was way out of hand and unethical, along with any other cases like this where so many embryos are implanted at once.
