    I mean they might, but if they also have egg cells…

    Surrogacy is when a uterus grows a kid that wasn’t by their own egg.

      Technically, that’s called gestational surrogacy. Traditional surrogacy uses the surrogate’s egg and the intended father’s (or donor’s) sperm.

        Huh. True enough. Point well made.

        I had no idea that existed. I thought surrogacy was donor sperm + donor egg in third party womb.

          By “traditional”, I think they mean “before we had the ability to facilitate gestational surrogacy”

          Sort of like half-adoption, if you think of it like that. So for people who lived pre 20th century…
