What is wrong with surrogate mothers? In most cases it doesn't actually require her to get a full IVF. It's really just her and a turkey baster.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church says:

Techniques that entail the dissociation of husband and wife, by the intrusion of a person other than the couple (donation of sperm or ovum, surrogate uterus), are gravely immoral. These techniques (heterologous artificial insemination and fertilization) infringe the child's right to be born of a father and mother known to him and bound to each other by marriage. They betray the spouses' "right to become a father and a mother only through each other" (CCC 2376).

Unless she commits adultery with the father, there's still that business of separating the unitive from the procreative.

As I said before on another thread. There's only one moral way to conceive. And it doesn't involve a turkey baster.

And no, committing adultery wouldn't make it right either! Just more honest!

My point is: If God doesn't want to give you a child of your own blood, why do you want to have one? May be, he will give you one in future after some years of prayer. It has happened many times in the church's history and it can happen to you.
Barrenness is a big cross and one must bear it in union with the Lord. It is also the great apportunity to adopt a child, a child that can be brought up by pagans who may deprive him of salvation.
Those children who live in bad situations are prone to many evils, everybody can kidnap them and take disadvantage of them in the most sinful ways.
Is it not beautiful to save a little angel from such great evils?

There is no moral solution, but there remains the possibility someone will have them implanted someday.
