Twins, kinda?!&#8221; But then she had second thoughts and decided she would try to carry a baby one more time and hire one surrogate. The couple started another round of IVF, which is how they created their two older children, Luna and Miles.<\/p>\n<p>Jack was the only child the couple conceived naturally. He was <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/teigen-miscarriage-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">born<\/a> prematurely after Teigen was admitted to the hospital due to bleeding and though they tried to save him, Jack passed away during or shortly after his preterm delivery. Though Teigen later claimed this was an abortion, it was not, because the intention was never to kill Jack in the womb.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear how many embryos Teigen and Legend created in this last round of IVF, though based on her comments, they made at least three. Teigen carried one to a successful live birth \u2014 baby girl Esti, now five months. The surrogate, Alexandra, did not have a successful pregnancy with a second embryo, which Teigen said &#8220;didn&#8217;t survive.&#8221; She did become pregnant using a third embryo with baby boy Wren Alexander.<\/p>\n<p>Teigen got the &#8220;twins&#8221; she had &#8216;ordered&#8217; and now has the four living children she wanted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The costs of IVF<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>IVF is expensive, but it comes with other costs as well. IVF has created many beloved children like Luna, Miles, Esti, and Wren. But far more lives have been <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/ivf-destroys-embryos-higher-rate-abortion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lost<\/a> during the IVF process than born.<\/p>\n<p>IVF\u00a0is carried out 2.5 million times annually around the world \u2014 but each year only 500,000 babies are actually born from the IVF procedure, according to research published in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbmojournal.com\/article\/S1472-6483%2818%2930598-4\/fulltext\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reproductive Biomedicine Online<\/a>. That means that each year, if just one embryo is created during each IVF cycle (the average is seven), at\u00a0<em>least<\/em>\u00a080% \u2014 at least two million \u2014 of the human beings created through IVF either die during the process, are frozen indefinitely, or are destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>The IVF process has allowed living human beings at the earliest stages of development to be treated as products to be stored on a shelf until someone deems them &#8216;wanted,&#8217; or tossed in the trash when they are labeled inadequate or unwanted. Embryos are labeled based on their &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/tech-companies-moving-take-fertility-diagnostic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quality<\/a>&#8221; and are destroyed for not being up to par.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you are commissioning and swiping your credit card for a product, even one that you want badly, you are participating in commodification, regardless of whether the intended parents are the biological parents of the surrogate-born children. In this case, the products are human beings,\u201d said Katie Breckenridge of the children\u2019s rights advocacy organization\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thembeforeus.com\/dear-legislative-allies-this-is-how-surrogacy-harms-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Them Before Us<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A woman named Jennie <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/ivf-woman-48-embryos-guilt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shared<\/a> with the Centre for Bioethics and Culture Network (CBC) that she got &#8220;swept up&#8221; in the IVF process, ultimately making<strong> 48<\/strong> embryos. \u201cWe have 29 in storage,\u201d she said. \u201cWe ended up with 30 embryos that got far enough along to be frozen\u2026 we have 29 sitting in storage that we pay $600 a month to keep there because we don\u2019t know what to do with them.\u201d Today, she struggles with guilt and doesn&#8217;t know what to do with the 29 frozen embryos she has left.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ethical issues of surrogacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Khlo\u00e9 Kardashian recently admitted that having a child using a surrogate was emotionally challenging for her and she recognized it was a &#8220;transactional&#8221; experience. Surrogacy allows couples to create their desired child, and the wealthier the couple is, the more options there are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI felt really guilty that this woman just had my baby and I take the baby and go to another room and you are separated,\u201d she <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/khloe-kardashian-surrogacy-transactional\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cIt felt like such a transactional experience because it is not about him. I wish someone was honest about surrogacy and the difference of it. But it doesn\u2019t mean it is bad or good. It is just very different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also said she was a &#8220;control freak&#8221; with the surrogate and that using a surrogate made it difficult for her to bond with her son Tatum. \u201cBut a surrogate process \u2014 Kim knows \u2014 is very hard for me. It\u2019s a mindf***. It is really the weirdest thing,\u201d Khlo\u00e9 said. \u201cI do feel less connected. People do say it takes a minute to feel connected but Kim said hers was easy. This is not easy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The risks associated with pregnancy are much higher for surrogates than for natural pregnancies because the surrogate&#8217;s body is more likely to recognize the baby as &#8216;foreign,&#8217; which can lead to higher <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/surrogacy-dangerous-women-expert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rates<\/a> of complications. If it&#8217;s high risk for the mother, it&#8217;s high risk for the baby too.<\/p>\n<p>Babies carried by surrogates have a higher risk of low birth weight and preterm birth in addition to the risk of major psychological impacts from being separated from their birth mother\/surrogate. IVF also <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/pro-life-couples-opt-adoption-ivf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">increases the risks<\/a>\u00a0of serious complications for children created using the technology.<\/p>\n<p>Children <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/abortion-ivf-surrogacy-commodification-paris-hilton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">created<\/a> via IVF have an increased risk of low birth weight, premature birth, hospital admission, perinatal mortality, cerebral palsy, and a \u201csignificantly\u201d increased risk of birth defects, compared to children conceived naturally. They are also at risk for high blood pressure, ADHD, autism, and depression, and girls conceived through IVF sometimes show advanced bone age and hormonal imbalances during puberty.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, some studies show an increased risk of childhood illnesses, including cardiovascular problems, early-onset acute lymphoblastic leukemia, an increased risk of cancer in general, epigenetic disorders, cognitive impairment, and possible infertility.<\/p>\n<p><a
