No negative impact for surrogate's own children

BioNews - No negative impact for surrogate's own children: Acting as a surrogate does not negatively affect the psychological wellbeing of the surrogate's own children, according to a new study from the University of Cambridge.

Researchers explored the experiences and psychological health of children whose mothers had acted as a surrogate for another couple. Sixteen children took part in the study - seven boys and nine girls aged between 12 and 22 years old. Researchers visited the children at home and assessed their wellbeing by conducting interviews and asking the children to complete questionnaires.

Editor: Does anyone else think this was too small a sample from which to derive any sort of conclusion?
