No, but there might be plenty of glory and publicity and money in enabling infertile women to bear children. A couple guys won the Nobel prize for that a few years ago. A Nobel Prize. For enabling (the very, very few) people who can afford it, to have a biological child thanks to extraordinary and expensive medical measures—when there are hundreds of millions of abandoned and orphaned children around the world needing homes.
