What these 9 surrogacy attempts have cost children:
First, some embryos do not survive the thawing process after being cryogenically frozen. In what must now be several batches of frozen children, many were lost before they even made it to the womb. 1/5

Out of each batch that does survive, Bass and his husband selected the most viable embryos to transfer. Those deemed less viable were likely discarded. 2/5
The embryos lucky enough to make the transfer cut in surrogacy attempts 1-9 all died in utero, much more common in surrogate pregnancies perhaps due to unrelatedness between the embryo to the surrogate mother. 3/5
1 to 4 embryos were likely transferred in each of the nine surrogacy attempts. All of them died post-transfer. That’s 9-36 dead babies. 4/5
If the 10th attempt results in a live birth, the baby will be starved of each of the three components of motherhood
- genetic mother
- birth mother
- social mother
And the lives of dozens, if not hundreds, of children will have been lost in the process. 5/5
