So, what I want to know is if it's cheaper than my current apartment, and if utilities are included :D" See also a good story about IVF in the Mercury News.

    can rent the uterus


    Is there any way I can get a rental price of a uterus with a "utility room"? I'm willing to provide my own plumbing, and I'm more than willing to pay quite a bit of the rent in advance. I just need something that's nice and cozy, but gives me the option of expanding if I feel the need.
