The surrogate mom carrying the baby never intended to keep it. We live in an age where it is possible to have a fetus inside a pregnant woman which is about to be born, but which, technically, has no parents. It's an issue that can only be discussed in the year 2000 because technology has only just come this far. But with this technological success and the ability to do magical things for women comes difficult moral responsibilities that we haven't yet worked out. So my challenge as a writer and as a producer is to move you with the story of what one doctor is going through in order to do the best thing for a child, to teach you about the incredible strides we're taking in fertility technology, but also to get you thinking and talking about what was the right thing to do.
Women are the caretakers of the world.
They are responsible for their own health care, their husband's health care, their children's health care. Women are interested in knowing more about medicine than some doctors I know, so in general the subject matter is incredibly interesting to them. Most television shows don't aim to accomplish both.
