You're actually on to something, Sven. Although a gestational carrier doesn't share a DNA relation to the baby they carry, there are some who argue that there is a "biological" connection. They don't share DNA but they shared a common environment. The medical aspects of that conversation/argument are way above my paygrade, but it's interesting to go down that rabbit hole if this is a topic that piques your interest. But in short, the argument says that there is a difference between a biological and a genetic connection. I'd love to hear a geneticist and biologist chat about this.
Actually they don't share blood the placenta prevents that. The baby has their own blood. The gestational carrier's nutrients are simply broken down into its component parts as food. Are you part meat because you eat meat?
I'm not a geneticist or doctor, but my answer is no -- the baby will not necessarily share the same blood type as the parents (sperm & egg providers), nor will it necessarily share the same blood type of the surrogate (which has no genetic connection) who carried it. Children do not share the same blood type as their parents. Blood type is determined by a combination of genetic factors inherited from both parents.
Well, even gestational surrogate shares blood for 40 weeks. There should be some biological inter-action.
Confused with this?🤔

Very informative...clearly explain👍👍👍👍
Thank you
Well this was deep. thank you so much for clarification.
Very informative
Thanks!
All the real facts we will know after 20 years because time will show the truth!
Interesting outlook. Well, I think I’ll stick around for the next 20 years to find out.

The woman who carries the child will influence the epigenetics of the child, that is how the genes express themselves.
Very affective explanation
Thanks, Teresa!
Very informative.👍
Glad you liked it, Rave! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Will the gestational donor baby have the blood type of their parents?
Yes

So, the wight baby legally belongs to the Asian couple as well since they paid for it?
fetal microchimerism dna from the baby goes to the mothers brain and stays there for decades!
Wrong ...
I'd love to hear more of your perspective, Pol.
thats so fucked up
I guess that's one way to look at it! LOL.
How is it fucked up?
