Chapter 45: The Legend of Buying Lego (Part II)
After hearing the news, An Shuyi began to be sad and unhappy for a long time.
She had always wanted to have another child.
Now it's good, not only is it impossible to regenerate, but even the embryo she once took as her only hope and asked to be frozen after six failed test tubes will be humanely abandoned.
What is humane abandonment? How is this humane?
In An Shuyi's heart, even if it is just an embryo, it is her own child.
It's not that she doesn't know that the embryo doesn't have the possibility of normal development, but she just doesn't want to abandon it like that, why can't she just keep freezing?
Buying the ocean was a little upset by his wife's long-term depressed mood.
After thinking about it, her wife probably needed a little sense of ritual, so she said that she would take her to say goodbye to the "child" who was frozen in the UK and had no chance to be born.
An Shuyi's heart finally has a sustenance.
It's a pity that it backfired, it's okay not to go, but An Shuyi will be even more collapsed as soon as she goes.
Before she came, she didn't know that liquid nitrogen was used to freeze embryos.
When she arrived in the UK, she learned that her "child" had been living in a tube at minus 196 degrees Celsius.
minus 196 degrees, this extremely cold condition, not to mention humans, even bacteria don't know how to survive.
Her "child" had never been blessed, let alone abandoned, after nearly twenty years of living alone and tenaciously in inhumane freezing conditions.
An Shuyi thought that this was a dehumanizing thing, and cried in the hospital.
An Shuyi's cry "moved" a pair of same-sex couples who came to the hospital to give birth to their own children through eggs donated by volunteers.
If a male spouse wants to have a child of his own, he must go through an IVF and find a woman who wishes to be a surrogate.
The United Kingdom, while not like the United States, allows commercial surrogacy, but it was the first country to legalize surrogacy.
As long as there is no "purchase" involved, surrogacy on the premise of voluntariness is legal.
An Shuyi's fourth-level embryo is impossible to implant healthily.
Contrary to An Shuyi's situation, the same-sex couple, because there are many volunteers to choose from, carefully selected their most active sperm and the eggs of the donors with the best conditions.
The fertilized eggs that they are going to transfer back to the uterus of the surrogate mother are the highest grade blastocysts from the most ideal first-class embryos.
The couple, hoping that after their child was born, they would be brothers and sisters, so they chose the eggs of the same donor and their respective sperm to cultivate them into embryos.
In this way, they look for twins born to surrogate mothers, because having the same mother is a brother and sister both genetically and legally.
Seeing An Shuyi's grief-stricken appearance, the couple, who also longed to have their own children, said that they could let her embryo be transferred back together.
Anyway, the upper limit of the embryos that can be transferred at one time is three.
This matter is a bit ridiculous, and if An Shuyi thought about it seriously, she might have refused.
An Shuyi's heart knot was that the embryo had never enjoyed the warmth of the world and was about to be abandoned, at that special point in time, An Shuyi didn't think much about it, so she accepted this proposal with infinite gratitude.
Three weeks later, the first B-ultrasound, the couple also sent the first B-ultrasound examination report to Mai Haiyang and An Shuyi, and there were indeed only two of them with a heartbeat.
An Shuyi's fourth-level frozen embryo has a chance of being able to develop normally, less than 1 in 10 million, and it is purely transplanted for psychological comfort.
After that, it's over.
The United Kingdom is the birthplace of IVF and has a very complete surrogacy system, but almost no one in China goes to the United Kingdom to do surrogacy.
At the end of the day, it's not that commercial treatment is not allowed in the UK, and there aren't many volunteers willing to help out without pay.
If it's a matter of money, it's easy to give a sum of money to a volunteer who helps with surrogacy.
Send a house, send a car, send a yacht, what is not a gift?
There is no need to limit yourself to whether surrogacy itself is paid or not.
The main reason for this result is that British surrogacy is based on an adoption model.
The UK surrogacy law states that whoever gives birth is the legal mother of the child and is the only one.
In other words, parents in the genetic sense do not have a legally recognized parent-child relationship with their children.
The child was born with no genetic relationship to his parents.
This is very different from the model of going to the United States to spend 1 million surrogacy, and the child can return to China with his blood parents within a few days of his birth.
Under the legal framework of the United Kingdom, the child born from surrogacy belongs to the surrogate mother.
Biological parents want to get back custody of their surrogate children, and the only way is through adoption.
A Chinese couple wants to adopt a British child, not to mention the complicated procedures, and there are many variables.
It's not something that can be done overnight.
There are few people who can't have children themselves, and they have all come to the step of surrogacy, and they are willing to take the risk of surrogacy children, which may not belong to them in the end.
This is the real reason why people with fertility disorders hardly choose to go to the UK for legal surrogacy.
Who would have thought that ten months later, the volunteer who helped same-sex couples with surrogacy gave birth to twins of two different races.
A blonde Caucasian and a yellow-skinned, black-haired yellow man.
The same-sex couples were European, and the volunteers who provided them with their eggs were also white, so their children could not have Asian faces.
This Asian baby boy was confirmed by paternity testing to be the son of Mai Hai and An Shuyi.
Even the doctors were shocked by such results and began to re-evaluate the significance of the existence of the fourth-level embryo.
Buying Lego came to this world without saying hello, and it became a miracle of life with a survival rate of less than 1 in 10 million, but born in good health.
Buy Lego = buy happy + buy happy.
From the beginning of the name, it was pinned on the two "elder brothers and younger brothers" who failed to defeat Maimaimai in the link of survival of the fittest.
Until all the adoption formalities are completed, the only way to buy Lego is to be a fake Englishman and a British mother.
This is the legendary story of buying Lego.
Legally, the buyer is a British child who is being adopted, and genetically, the buyer and the buyer are siblings of the same father and mother.
The paternity test done at birth is the only document that can prove the identity of buying Lego at this stage.
