From BBC;
Surrogacy business is quite booming in India especially in
Dr Nanya Patel's clinic situated at rural Gujarat, which houses up to 100
surrogate mothers. Women who carry babies for couples with fertility problems
are paid US$8,000 while the doctor gets $28,000.
The (surrogacy) industry believed to be worth over $1billion
(£619m) attracts childless couples from all over the world. Couples employ
surrogate mothers as nannies and when they are through with all necessary paper
work, they separate and take the children back to their respective countries.
The Doctor has several times been accused of running a
baby-making factory and exploiting poor women but she doesn't see herself in
that light, she considers herself as a feminist who is empowering them to take charge
of their lives and improve their future
prospects.
"According to many, I am controversial. There have been
allegations of baby selling, baby making factory. The surrogates are doing the
physical work agreed and they are being compensated for it." She defended.
Do you agree with her?
