This is basically where things are already heading imo. Not just surrogacy but CRISPR and artificial wombs as well, although I think “character creation” (customization of ideal genetic traits) will remain the exclusive preserve of a select few wealthy elites for the foreseeable future.

I think artificial wombs and CRISPR are at least a century of progress at the current rate to being safe/effective to use in humans imo. But the severing of the connection between sex/family and reproduction is pretty much complete. Which I think is eugenic long term yet also gives much more power to the System. Double edged sword.
