Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband Matthew Broderick are "delighted" that they have a surrogate delivering twin girls for them. SJP is now 44 and no doubt, fertility was - and is - an issue in this decision.
But I ask you? What makes people so sure they have a RIGHT to have a baby merely because they desire one?
This seems to be a classic sense of western entitlement to have what you desire, be it a new house, gas guzzling car, freshly killed animal to eat or a baby.
When can we practice some discipline, some sense of context, some sense of global outlook so that we realize that the world does not have to deliver what we want, merely because we want it, that because we are obscenely wealthy (and that means you SJP) we can have what ever we want. When will learn that enough is enough?
