In surrogacy, the woman in whose uterus the couple's embryo is implanted is called the:
AThe sperm donor
BThe semen donor
CSurrogate mother
DThe foster nurse
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Surrogate mother
1. Surrogacy helps women who cannot implant an embryo in their own uterus.
2. The couple's oocyte is fertilized in vitro with the husband's sperm.
3. The resulting embryo is implanted in another woman with a normal uterus, the surrogate mother.
4. Sperm or semen donor and foster nurse do not carry the pregnancy, so those are ruled out.
