Idk, man. It is crazy in the same way that the death of any loved one drives you crazy. If my wife died suddenly in a car accident and we’d been trying to have kids for years, then a doctor comes to me and says “We can harvest your wife’s eggs and find a surrogate, and then you can have a child to remember her by” literally days after her death, would I say “Yes”? Fuckin’ maybe.

If this was a single mourning widow who got suckered in on the Free Real Estate gambit and lost her husband over it, I’d genuinely feel pity. Instead we’ve got some sicko freak social media rep, trying to turn a personal tragedy and desperate cope into Blood Libel.

I think this is an understandable position to hold for someone grieving a loved one / father of their children and also it’s absolutely not an understandable position to hold for the state of israel, or any state

Right? I get the woman wanting to do it. I don’t get the state xitter account announcing that they tried to do it as a call to arms. That part is fucking weird

Thing is she already had a kid with this guy, so even if she was dedicated to having a biological child with him, that goal was already achieved!
