Probrably they will take action in the same way in the future. Life is valuable. If they don’t experience the pregnancy, They don’t know how to love her baby and be good with other people.

Revised

I don’t agree with it at all. In my opinion, it is a really dark industry, because surrogate mothers can’t receive the reasonable price, most of money is paid to the agent/ the agency, and it harms their body. If someone is dissatisfied with the gender, they can abandon the baby. Life would be like goods for sale。ZS is a public person/figure, She has a lot of fans. Despite the fact that she behaves strange/weird/ she has strange behaviors, she is still loved/supported by her fans. Her action affects the next generation.
The general public might imitate what she did. Life is valuable. If women don’t experience the process of pregnancy, they don’t know how to love their baby and treat others well.Â
