Jacob and andre are in a homosexual committed relationship and want to have a baby of their own. they visit a doctor who advises them that either jacob or andre can donate a sperm, which can be implanted into the womb of a carrier female. what procedure is the doctor suggesting? a) surrogacy b) counseling c) checking sperm count d) in vitro fertilization e) fertility treatment

The correct answer is A) Surrogacy

Explanation:

Surrogacy refers to a medical procedure in which a female acting as a carrier is inseminated to be the surrogate mother until birth or a fertilized egg is implanted in the surrogate mother. This is the result of an agreement between the intended parents and a gestational surrogate. Also, this implies the woman that carries the baby until birth does not keep the baby but agrees to give the baby to the intended parents.

This is the case of Jacob and Andre because due to their impossibility to have a baby their doctor suggests one of them donates sperm, and this is used to inseminate a carrier or surrogate mother that would give the couple the baby after birth. Thus, the procedure the doctor is suggesting is surrogacy.
