 Surrogacy - Surrogate Mother - Center for Surrogate Parenting, Inc.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
A typical surrogate mother would be described as a woman between the ages of 21-37 years old, who has 2 children and 13 years of formal education.
A recurring theme stated by surrogate mothers is that the true genesis of the child is its creation in the minds and hearts of the intended parents.
A surrogate mother younger than 21 year of age may not have the maturity to deal with and understand the intricacies of surrogate parenting and the effect her decision may have on her own children.

 Characteristics of a Good Surrogate
Surrogates are motivated to assist infertile couples in building their families for a variety of individual reasons, but they generally fall under two general categories, altruism (the desire to do something good for someone else) and compensation.
The surrogate's receipt of adequate compensation for the benefit of her own family gives her something positive on which to focus and helps reduce the risk that she will unexpectedly respond to any possible twinge of deprivation by wanting to keep the child.
The surrogate's overall psychological and emotional health are also critical to the success of a surrogacy program, and every surrogate should be psychologically screened and "approved" by a licensed psychologist who is qualified and experienced in third-party reproduction issues as a suitable participant in a surrogacy program.

 Surrogate Parenting
Finding a suitable surrogate is a little more complicated than finding a suitable male donor because there is far more involvement with the surrogate, who will complete the pregnancy and give birth to the child.
Surrogate mothers can be found through a donor clinic or program, or by contacting family law practitioners who specialize in adoptions.
If the surrogate changes her mind, the contract is no guarantee that the courts will take your side.

Within a surrogate's conceptualization of self is a woman who, by calling her uterus a "machine" and by partially denying her right to bodily determination, could be seen as both separating her identity from, and conflating it with her reproductive capacities.

 Surrogate mothers have no doubts about handing over the baby
Madrid, Spain: Surrogate mothers do not suffer major emotional problems during or after their pregnancy, or when they hand over the baby to the commissioning parents, researchers told the annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology today (Wednesday 2 July).
The women gave information on their reasons for deciding to become a surrogate, the reaction of others to this decision, their relationships with the commissioning couple before and during the pregnancy, their experiences of handing over the baby, and how they felt towards the child.
Surrogate mothers who already knew the commissioning couple were more likely to feel there was a special bond with the child.

 Surrogate Parenting Law in Massachusetts: A Pathfinder
The court stressed the importance of establishing the rights and responsibilities of parentage as soon as is practically possible to prevent legal controversies and furnish children with a measure of stability.
It also held that a pre-conception contract by which a woman agrees to serve as a surrogate mother for a married couple for a fee violates public policy and is unenforceable.
501, 689 NE2d 790 (1998) Surrogate agreement was unenforceable because mother's consent to surrender custody of child to the biological father was given before the fourth day after the child's birth and it was made in consideration of monetary payment which was above the mother's pregnancy-related expenses.

 00.07.05: Ethical Problems Surrounding Surrogate Motherhood
Surrogate mothers are not a new solution to the old problem of not being able to reproduce an offspring.
The surrogate is artificially inseminated (AI) by placing the sperm of the husband into the uterus of the surrogate at the fertile time of the cycle, which is just prior to the egg reaching the uterus.
The genetic ties involve the surrogate furnishing the egg to be fertilized with the sperm from the infertile couple.

 Illinois Vital Records - Surrogate Parentage Records
Illinois law created a process for establishing a parent-child relationship between a child and his or her intended parents when the child is being carried by a gestational surrogate.
The attorneys representing the intended parent(s) and the gestational surrogate and her husband (if any), must each sign a separate certified statement that the parties have signed a gestational surrogacy contract and that this contract satisfies the requirements of Section 25 of the Gestational Surrogacy Act.
Should a surrogate birth occur in an Illinois hospital other than the hospital planned for the delivery, the person preparing the birth certificate must be advised of the existence of the surrogate parentage statements.

 There are some lively discussions going on regarding the appropriate use of surrogate keys versus natural keys.
Another reason for surrogate key assignment is the possibility of key reuse in the operational system.
Surrogate key assignment and then resolution back to the natural key when needed is expensive in both storage costs and ETL processing.
A single fixed length surrogate key on a table offers database performance advantages in cases where numerous natural keys are needed to establish uniqueness in a dimension and/or where the natural key has a large or highly variable length (e.g., URs).

The goal of the Jini Surrogate project is to address this problem by defining a means by which these components, with the aid of a third party, can participate in a Jini network while still maintaining the plug-and-work model of Jini network technology (Jini technology).
The common attribute of the hardware or software components targeted by the surrogate architecture is the inability to download code, because of either computational resource or network connectivity limitations.
The surrogate architecture is built upon the Java platform and Jini technology.

 washingtonpost.com: Unabomber Special Report   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
We use the term “surrogate activity” to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward, or let us say, merely for the sake of the “fulfillment” that they get from pursuing the goal.
Many people who pursue surrogate activities will say that they get far more fulfillment from these activities than they do from the “mundane” business of satisfying their biological needs, but that is because in our society the effort needed to satisfy the biological needs has been reduced to triviality.
As we explained in paragraphs 38-40, a surrogate activity is an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that the individual pursues for the sake of the “fulfillment” that he gets from pursuing the goal, not because he needs to attain the goal itself.

 Intelligent Versus Surrogate Keys
In most databases, however, the number of columns actually drops when surrogate keys are used because multi-column intelligent foreign keys are replaced with single-column surrogate foreign keys.
When surrogate primary keys are used extra indexes may be required on the business columns that used to be part of the intelligent primary key.
On the other hand, it was noted earlier that surrogate keys may increase the number of joins because business columns from parent tables are not repeated in child tables.

 Surrogate - Surrogate Userguide
Generally, the two AspectJ pointcut types to use in the Surrogate framework are the call and execution pointcuts, often combined with the within pointcut to restrict the pointcut scope to as set of classes.
In a project environment where Surrogate is used, it will most likely be the case that you weave your project classes with the Surrogate aspects but let thirdparty jars and the java System libraries alone.
The way of guaranteeing this separation is to weave the Surrogate(d) classes to a special class folder and then run the unit tests with this folder first on the classpath.
