Surrogacy booming in India

印度代孕生子生意火爆

A womb can be rented for about $3000 in India and couples desperate for children are turning to India, where relaxed laws on surrogacy mean the business of babies is booming, Sky news reported. The doctor uses eggs and sperm harvested from the couple and then implants the embryo into the surrogate mother. By the time a baby is born, the woman who has effectively "rented" out her womb stands to make around $7000.

據天空電視新聞報道，由于印度代孕相關法律較為寬松，許多求子心切的夫婦紛紛前往印度，致使該國代孕生意十分火爆。據悉，醫生首先從要求代孕的夫婦身上提取精子和卵細胞，然后將胚胎植入代孕母親子宮，而租一個子宮的租賃費用僅需3000美元。若最后孩子成功生育，代孕母親可獲得7000美元的報酬。
