I'm serious - is this medically possible?

It may be possible, but there are three huge problems:
1 - the cost would be amazing
2 - there would have to be some treatments to 'simulate' pregnancy in the surrogate, meaning an amount of time where the original mother still carried the child would be required.
3 - there would be a decidedly non-zero chance of miscarriage, rejection, or other such loss of the fertilized egg. While this risk is obviously a "comes with the territory"-type thing, the reality is that these situations result in a 'de facto' abortion (while still keeping the first two problems).
