Focus on Surrogacy in Entertainment: Friends S4 E11 - The One With Phoebe's Uterus

Focus on Surrogacy is a series where two surrogacy professionals with added personal experience react to surrogacy stories in entertainment, news, documentaries, and more.

For our first episode, part 1 of a sequence, we react to "The One With Phoebe's Uterus" a Friends episode where the character Phoebe is introduced to the idea of being a surrogate for her family.

We react and discuss issues such as why surrogacy is pursued, early thoughts and processes, eligibility to become a surrogate, family and friends' reactions, gestational surrogacy babies are not related, "giving up a baby", the intention of those involved, surrogacy in states without favorable laws, and emotions involved.
