Very!

What happens if the man, once her legal father, wins 80 mil on the Eurolottery?

Will there be children with no parent named on their certificate ( sperm donor, egg donor & surrogate mother)?

I love the idea of the second part of the birth certificate stating whether the conception was natural........................ OK - won't go there ;-)


Brave New World by Aldous Huxley - where there are no natural births - everyone is a test tube baby. It's not far away now................
