Kim Kardashian will be exhausting all the options she has to have a third baby with Kanye West. The “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star can’t be stopped by her inability to carry a child as the Hollywood’s power couple is going to opt for surrogacy to have another kid.
The mother-of-two, Saint West, and North West has been warned by her doctors for the threats of another high-risk pregnancy. Hence, she and her 40-year-old husband hired a surrogate mother to carry their child for them.
A plan to hire a surrogate mother
Allegedly, TMZ reported that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West paid the Surrogate Mom with a whopping $113,000 to carry their child.
However, it is not yet clear if the surrogate mother is already pregnant as the 36-year-old star’s representative has yet to answer the Publications' request for comments. To recall, the known socialite has been opened about her health problems when she was pregnant with her daughter North and son Saint. In fact, this had been featured in an episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” on E!
Kim Kardashian talked about her plans to hire a surrogate mother to have more children with Kanye West. She also detailed all her difficulties during her two pregnancies and giving births on her blog. Her family’s reality series, on the other hand, has documented her previous surgeries and consultations in hopes to solve the problem.
“I think I always knew that surrogacy was an option,” she said in an episode of “KUWTK” in April. Although some think that it was not a “realistic option,” she felt that it would be her reality. The couple’s plan to have another child and to hire a surrogate mom emerges after their alleged “difficult year.”
The consequences of opting surrogacy
Meanwhile, the process of undergoing surrogacy will involve using techniques called in-vitro fertilization (IVF).
This will artificially implant human embryos from the couple -- in this case, from Kim Kardashian and Kanye West -- into a surrogate mother’s womb. Hence, the child will not be biologically related to the carrier. However, this method has been raising a series of “bioethical issues.”
The unused or unwanted embryos that have been created through IVF techniques are being destroyed, abandoned, or aborted, especially if they find out that the child has a disability. In fact, the surrogacy contracts often have “abortion clauses,” giving the biological parents the right to ask the surrogate moms to abort the baby they are carrying.
