In reference to Case 2 "Surrogate verses Father": Should the father have any rights to the child in this case? In other words, when determining the custody of a child, should "who" gestates it carry more weight than genetic links to it (that is, to where the sperm and egg came from)? Do you agree or disagree with the Florida law in this scenario? Why or why not?

With reference to the Case stated above about "Surrogate verses Father", I think the genetic link should carry more weight than who gestates it when determining the custody of the child.

This is based on the existing florida law which specifies the type of method to be adopted for bearing children by a surrogate mother (That is, traditional surrogacy or Gestational Surrogacy).

Why I agreed with the Florida Law was because the connection between the parents who sort the services of the surrogate lady is far paramount than surrogate lady who simply serves as a gestation environment. The genetic link and features like the facial features of the child, the blood group, the skin colour, the personality traits of the child (introverted child or extroverted child ) are more important and helps in determining the child's custody.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,

your answer is rising unemployment and inflation.
