Opposing Views On Surrogate Motherhood Surrogacy: A Dream Come True “Infertility, which affects as many as 1 in 6 couples, is defined as the inability of a couple to conceive a child after one year of unprotected sex...one-third of the time it lies with the female.” The “American Dream” has changed very little over the years—a happy marriage, a family, a nice secure life in the suburbs...but for some people, that dream will never become a reality. Due to high infertility rates, many couples are unable to reproduce without outside help. Surrogate motherhood offers an alternative that allows couples to parent children who are still genetically connected to one or both parents. Surrogacy is a better option than adoption for many couples because changes in society have resulted in a lower number of children available for adoption, most infertile couples would like a newborn baby, and there are a number of benefits to have children who are genetically related to their parents. Medical advancements have allowed for creation of more reliable forms of birth control and educators have improved sex education for kids and even adults; thus resulting in a lower number of children being put up for adoption.
