好处与坏处

For a woman who can't conceive, surrogacy creates a chance for her and her partner to parent a child who is their genetic¹ children at least partially² (if they use the father's sperm³ and the surrogate's egg)

对不孕的女人来说，代孕给她们和她们的丈夫拥有自己亲生孩子的机会。有时是采用的是孩子父亲一方的精子和代孕母亲的卵子，孩子因而只有父亲一方的基因。

or completely (if they ask the surrogate co carry an embryo⁴ created from the mother's egg and the father's sperm).

有时是直接把父母双方精子卵子合成的胚胎注入代孕母亲的子宫里，那样孩子就拥有夫妻双方的基因了。

If they set up an open arrangement, the couple can be deeply involved in all the details of their baby's gestation⁵ and may be there for the birth of their baby.

如果代孕双方有公开声明，寻求代孕的夫妻可以深度参与代孕母亲妊娠的全程，还可以在现场见证孩子的出生。
