171.0. "Questionnaire on surrogate motherhood (see 171.2)" by MORGAN::BARBER (Skyking Tactical Services) Thu Oct 22 1987 14:50

    A friend, who is not a Decie, knows about the notes file from
    a number of different sources. He is currently in a business law
    course and has been tasked to take a survey on the following 
    questions. I agreed to assist him by posting it both in Womans and 
    in Mens. I am only going to roll up the answers and NO names will be
    included to the results. Please respond by NOV 6 so that I can
    get the results to him when I see him the weekend of NOV 7/8.
    
    Please answer either yes , no , or no opinion
    
    Do you believe that surrogate motherhood should be legal in 
    this country ?
    
    Do you believe that a contract drawn up for surrogate motherhood
    should be binding in that the female must give up the baby ?
    
    Do you believe that there should be laws enacted to govern the
    actions of all parties involved in surrogate child birth ?     

                              Thanks    Bob B

171.2Please MAIL your responsesQUARK::LIONELLet the memory live againThu Oct 22 1987 15:016
    Please MAIL your responses to Bob at MORGAN::BARBER rather than
    replying to this note.  This will prevent the conference from being
    filled up with temporary information.  If someone wishes to start
    a separate topic on surrogate motherhood, as it pertains to men,
    please do so.  Thanks.

     Uppps sorry, I should have made this clearer. It was not my
     intent to make this a time limited note. The only limitation was
     that I had to get any survey answers back to the person by the
     week end of NOV. I feel this should remain open as the note to
     discuss this subject rather than open a new one. The way to do
    this would be to answer the questions and then give your opinion.
    
                         Thanks
                                  Bob B 
    
    
171.4MAIL answers, discuss hereQUARK::LIONELLet the memory live againThu Oct 22 1987 19:235
    Ok - if you want just to answer Bob's survey questions, send him
    mail.  If you want to discuss the issues, reply here - though I
    still don't think this is the best place for it (HUMAN_RELATIONS
    would be better).

171.5The results so farMORGAN::BARBERSkyking Tactical ServicesFri Oct 30 1987 15:0743

    It would appear that I have all the answers that I'am going to
    get about this, so I've rolled up the current set of replys.
    If any others come in between now and next Fri Nov 6, Ill
    redo this. So far 49 people have responded, the results include 
    both those answers that were either posted, or those that were mailed 
    to me. I make no claim as to the results, I'am just here to tally them
    and forward them to my friend. Note that I have not included any
    " No opinion " counts in this report, since there were so few of
    them.
