The second scenario involves a man who decides that he wants a child which
is his biologically as well as legally  and is not involved in an ongoing 
relationship with a woman.   The logistics become a bit more complicated.

For the women:  would you be willing to be a surrogate mother for a close
male friend who asked this of you?  To clarify, I'm assuming that the econo-
mics of the situation would be that a legal agreement exists such that the
male would pay any medical expenses not covered by insurance as well as 
remuneration for time lost from work.  In return, the woman would relinquish
any legal right/responsibilities for the child.  But I'm not thinking about
remuneration for just going through the pregnancy.

For the men:  do you see alternative answers to this problem?
