Jill and Whitney are two Oregon twin sisters (United States) who have always shared a special bond. But now that link has become stronger even if it fits, because Jill expects twins for her sister, who because of a strange disease can not have children.
It is not the first case of free and altruistic surrogacy that we have known, but personally, the act of love and generosity will never cease to amaze me so much that it hides behind such stories.
A rare genetic disease prevents you from having children
Whitney Bliesner is 34 years old and a strange genetic disease called neurofibromatosis type 2 or NF2, which consists of growth of non-cancerous tumors in the nervous system. These tumors had caused the loss of hearing in the right ear, and the removal of a part of the uterus.
When doctors warned him that the hormonal changes caused by pregnancy could proliferate the number of tumors in his body, his life fell apart. She had always dreamed of being a mother, and since she married her husband, having a baby was a recurring theme in her life.
They weighed adoption and surrogacy, but their savings did not allow them to opt for either option, so that when their twin sister, Jill Noe, learned of the situation, she did not think twice: he wanted to gestate his sister's son.
Jill stopped her lifestyle to gestate her sister's twins
Jill was a basketball star during his time at Arizona State University, and since then, his life was especially active. Not surprisingly, Whitney was surprised that her sister decided to put the brakes on her exciting and sporty life to gestate her son.

Free and altruistic surrogacy
Surrogacy is one of the most controversial issues generated at all levels by the ethical complexities it raises. In Spain it is an illegal practice and that is why there are many couples traveling abroad, to countries where it is legalized, to realize their dream of being parents.
Through the "We are not vessels" campaign, those who are against the rent of wombs want to avoid at all costs that surrogate motherhood comes to be raised in our country. But what happens if the woman decides, freely and altruistically, to gestate the son of another?
In Babies and more Proposal for a law so that surrogacy in our country is legal, free and altruisticIn the United States, for example, surrogacy is legal, and it is also common to Free and altruistic pregnancy between friends and family. In this way we have known cases of mothers and mother-in-law who have gestated for their children, and even women who have offered to carry their best friend's son in their womb.
It is certainly a controversial and controversial issue, but in this particular story I only see a deep love between sisters that is capable of breaking down all adversities. What do you think about it?
