In addition to medical complications, there are psychological risks for the surrogate mother, future psychological risks for the child, lack of trust between the surrogate mother and intended parents, etc. Women may have psychological reactions to being surrogates that include depression when giving up the child, grief, and even refusal to release the child. This can be seen in the iconic Baby M case. In the Baby M case, a traditional surrogacy was arranged between the Sterns and Mary Beth Whitehead. Everything went well until the last months of the pregnancy, when Whitehead began to act on her own. After carrying the child, she had a hard time giving up the baby and returned the next day saying she was suicidal because of it. (Baby M and Mary Beth Whitehead. Surrogate pregnancy in court) She threatened to kill herself and the baby if she couldn't keep him. Whitehead had kept the baby for months after giving birth during the trial. There was an ongoing struggle between Whitehead and Mr. Stern, with both biological parents each wanting custody, and they developed a strange sort of relationship, acting as if they were a couple. In the testimony, Whitehead and Stern discuss the fate of "their" baby, completely ignoring Ms. Stern, who was the expectant mother. (GPA: Baby M) The problem with traditional surrogacy is that the intended mother has no biological or physical connection to the child. This can lead to an identity problem for the child and future problems for the parents because only one of the intended parents is actually biologically related to the child. The technological solution to this problem is gestational surrogacy, but this comes with its own problems. Gestational surrogacy involves a surrogate mother implanted with the fertilized egg(s) of the intended parents through IVF. IVF has its own list of ethical issues and risks, but for the sake of simplicity, IVF involves some medical risks..
