Surrogate mothers are defined as women who becomes pregnant by artificial
insemination, or by implantation of a fertilized egg created by in vitro
fertilization for the purpose of carrying the fetus to term for another person
or persons.
I think we're safe to rule out artificial insemination; plus, the angel predicted
that baby Jesus' conception would take place within his mom's womb rather
than outside her womb.
• Luke 1:31 . .You will conceive in your womb
In other words; Mary's own egg (a.k.a. gamete) was utilized for initiating
her baby's construction.
FAQ: Doesn't it take two gametes to make a baby: male and female?
A: Yes
FAQ: Whence came the male gamete?
A: My guess is that the Holy Ghost constructed it with material taken from
Mary's body. (see Luke 1:35 and post No.30)
