| Summary: | Surrogacy is big business in India. It's now worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year - fueled by tax breaks for medical tourism, childless couples around the world trying to start a family, and young Indian women desperate for a pay day that could set their families up for life. But are ethics and adequate regulation being dismissed in the rush to supply thousands of foreigners and rich Indians with babies? We follow the paths of two Australian couples navigating India's booming baby-making industry, paying and doing what it takes to succeed and bring a baby home. As we'll see, results seldom play according to hopes and dreams. |
