If a woman can not give birth naturally for whatever reason, a surrogate mother can be used. The couple can offer their genetic material to be carried in another woman, with that woman carrying the child.
Surrogate motherhood involves a woman carrying a pregnancy and giving birth to a child for another person or couple. There are two main types: traditional surrogacy (where the surrogate's egg is used) and gestational surrogacy (where the surrogate carries a child conceived using the intended parent's egg or a donor egg). Legal agreements are typically put in place to outline rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.

It is impossible to determine the first case of a surrogate mother as they have been used for several millenia; however, the first legal case of surrogate motherhood in the United States occurred in 1976. The first legal agreement between couple and mother was handled by lawyer Noele Keane.
I think so, however it is totally a personal preference. I would prefer to have my own biological child if at all possible.
There are many agencies you can work with to learn how to be a surrogate mother. The best agency I have found is Surrogate Mothers Inc.
Just a guess, but I think it is because an aunt can be a surrogate mother without the heavy responsibilities of motherhood, such as saying, "No, you can't have tattoos and piercings, and that's final!"
Yes, she could. Surrogate motherhood involves the in vitro fertilization of another woman's ovum with a man's sperm, then implantation of that fertilized egg (usually at the blastocyte stage) into another woman's uterus. A tubal ligation would not prevent this process from being successful.

Something like "We should despise motherhood" or " "Motherhood is a very rewarding career."
Modern Motherhood was created in 1934.
