In this movie, maybe we can use money to buy anything, but I think sometimes that is not true. Some people just want to take your money. In this case, a woman didn’t have baby that is a big problem. Having a baby is many women and men dream, so I can understand her feeling, but she uses a wrong way. Maybe she can adopt a child. I think the best way to have a child when you are sterile is adopt one.
