Mixed, I guess are you talking about traditional or gestational? Overall, I'm okay with it. I think it's a good idea if you are pregnant but really are in no situation to be raising a child of your own (for whatever the reason may be) or if you are helping out someone who can't get pregnant but otherwise can raise a child in a positive way.
As for my issues with it...
Traditional: I personally would find it extremely hard to go through pregnancy and delivery to give up my own child. Just emotionally I don't think I'd be able to do it. I do prefer this option to abortion but at the same time feel like adoption would be a better option.
Gestational: Same reasons as above only I'd feel really bizarre having someone else's kid growing inside of me. Again it's really just a personal issue that I wouldn't be able to go through with myself.
Honestly, I've been considering. I know the world is full of too many unloved children already, but for one, I get that some parents want to have a child that looks like the two of them. And for two,they pay heftily for such a thing to happen when they've tried and tried and just can't do it. I personally know that I could have a child in my belly and be comfortable with the fact that it is not mine. If I did this in the next three years, I would KNOW that I am not ready for a child, and so doing someone else the favor of renting my uterus would be just that. I would obviously take care of myself and the fetus well... and it would be paying off my college loans at the same time. I don't want a child, I can't afford a child, and right now in my life I would not have the patience for a screaming infant. But I would consider such a thing for someone else to take care of.

It's really just a thought though.
