Okay, I'll bite.

Any child you carry becomes your own.

I understand the legal precedents, I understand the biology and the
genetics.

And I can understand deciding to cement your emotional bond with a
chosen life partner by swapping embryos.

How does this differ from chosing to carry the child created by the
"normal" procreative acts of a hetero couple? "I wanna have your baby".
