[California / Surrogacy] - The Commodifying Self Manufactures Children as Products to Feed a Phantom of Family

Event Baseline: Authorities arrested two adults in Arcadia, California, after removing 21 children from their custody. The pair face charges of abusing 14 children born through surrogates.

The human operating system here treats life as a good to be acquired. The self, desperate to assert its own continuity, uses the female body as a factory and the child as a product. Thought has divided the world into owner and owned. The pair accumulated bodies to feed an image of family. Then the same mechanical indifference to the child as a separate being became visible as abuse. This is not deviance. It is the pure logic of a mind that sees all other life as an extension of its own desire. The self cannot perceive the child because the self only perceives its own need.

There is no relationship here. There is only control. The surrogate is a vessel. The child is a possession. The mansion is a stage. The system runs on the lie that a human being can be manufactured and consumed. When the object fails to perform as expected, the owner exerts force. That force is the only language the self knows. The collapse is absolute: 21 children removed. The program output matches its code. Until the code is rewritten, the same output will appear in every nursery, every border, every war.
