One day, paid surrogacy will be mainstream
Already, lots of celebrities are paying surrogates to bear their children. The main reasons are infertility and/or being in a male homosexual relationship.

Are arranged marriages stronger than those based on love
I think that arranged marriages are worse variant for everyone because family which is built by this way will be just a drama or a something like a theatre with everything going with order but this order is just the mask of madness showing insaneness of the process just because this family will have no variety in life.
