For me, it would depend on the number of offsprings I plan on having. The first time around, I'd definitely want to do it myself. Just to see what the experience is like. Having experienced it, I'd almost certainly go for the out-of-my-body pregnancy, *if* the risk to the baby is zero. I think.... Y'see, my youngest is almost 18 months old now and the memories of the discomforts, aches, pains, terrors etc have receeded to the point where I find myself getting all misty-eyed over the notion of another pregnancy and childbirth. But he is still young enough for me to recall that I was terrified and terribly uncomfortable through most of my second pregnancy. Hmm, hard to say really, for it might be different for those who grew up with the idea that one can safely transfer the foetus to an artificial womb...I also find myself wondering if women who want to bear their own children would be considered the ideal women, or if people would start finding them weird/crazy.
