Let’s Talk About Reproduction

A reader suggests: “If you want to reproduce couldn’t you just buy an egg of some high IQ woman and then pay for a Mexican to be the surrogate mother for it? If you don’t have the money for it you could even put a donate thing on your blog for it. If people like what you say enough I’m sure they would want to help your genes get passed on so that maybe someone would at least have the talent to be able to say similar stuff further on down the line.”

Chaim Amalek: Raising a child above the poverty line in free-market America is a very very expensive proposition. You have to pay for food, medical care, and then, unless you are lucky enough to be living in a non-diverse, mostly white and/or asian area, you have to pay for tuition from preschool through college. Do you have the money for this? What about the family backup nearby? Also, what happens when you get sick – who looks after the kid?

Also, eggs donated from high IQ young white women don’t come cheap. Wombs don’t come cheap, either. You would need tens of thousands of dollars just to have a baby delivered to your doorstep. And then you’d have to figure out a way of paying to raise that kid. Sorry, but I don’t think this is a do-it-yourself project, especially not for you.
