Default Want a baby? Just buy and borrow.

Newest sitcom from FOX, The Return of Jezebel James.
"SARAH TOMPKINS (Parker Posey) has everything a fancy girl could want in life: her own imprint at HarperCollins’ children’s division; a great big loft in Brooklyn; a young, energetic and only slightly terrified assistant, BUDDY (Michael Arden); and a perfect, no-strings-attached relationship with successful businessman MARCUS SONTI (Scott Cohen). She’s about to publish the sequel to her successful young adult novel, The True Adventures of Jezebel James, she can do the splits, she’s basically a size 2… so what on Earth could make this better? A baby....
"Sarah finally takes the nagging to heart and decides, why not? There’s no husband, but she can do this without a husband. After all, she’s done everything else without a husband. Decision made."

Enter Confessions of a Cryo-kid
"We as donor conceived offspring could not have asked to be conceived and be loved, as we did not exist at this time. As David Velleman points out, no donor conceived child was ever wanted (in the individual sense), the parents only wanted A baby, ANY baby, regardless of who that child is or who they were from (David Velleman, The Gift of Life, 2007). It’s ridiculous to say we were wanted as we were wanted merely as that miracle baby and not as who we are as an individual."
She then cites Elizabeth Marquardt

“Adults who support the use of new technologies to bear children sometimes say that biology does not matter to children, that all children need is a loving family. Yet biology clearly matters to the adults who sometimes go to extreme lengths— undergoing high-risk medical procedures; procuring eggs, sperm, or wombs from strangers; and paying quite a lot of money—to create a child genetically related to at least one of them. In a striking contradiction, these same people will often insist that the child’s biological relationship to an absent donor father or mother should not really matter to the child” (Elizabeth Marquardt, The Revolution in Parenthood: The Emerging Global Clash Between Adult Rights and Children’s Needs, 2006)."
