biology n'stuff

CNN/AP
Quaid and his wife are the biological parents of the twins, who were born November 8 to a surrogate mother.
Biological seems like the wrong word here. A woman (the surrogate) had the embryos implanted in her uterus, carried two to term, and did the whole labor thing. In my book, that makes her "biological". Perhaps "genetic" is the better word the AP folks are (or should be) casting about for.
