Well, you don't seem like the type of person (from what I can tell) that would abuse the process. And I understand his longing, well sort of. I'm not maternal, I never really wanted kids, but still, I understand why someone would want to have one of their own. And, the adoption process can be a nightmare. But, what if you end up with triplets, or quads?

I just think there are a lot of ethical and moral questions that haven't been answered. As a species, we seem to jump on the bandwagon without thinking things through sometimes, like what kind of consequences will we create by doing something?
