Rent-A-Womb

This article discusses the (disturbing?) trend of Indian women becoming surrogate mothers for commercial reasons. It raises all sorts of questions from many different angles. In a very general way, I think I'm cautiously okay with it, provided that the contracts would be binding, and that the pregnancies are regulated consistently to ensure the health of the babies, mothers, etc.
Something that caught my eye was a question in the article's sidebar that read, "Are men becoming obsolete?" I thought that was funny. If there were no men, who would do all the work? I should go ask my wife about that.
