India is one of few countries to allow payment for child surrogacy.

Tha na h-Innseachan a' fàs ainmeil mar fhactaraidh leanabain an t-saoghail. 'S e aon de na rìoghachdan far an urrainnear pàigheadh a cheadachadh airson màthraichean-ionaid a chleachdadh. Airson còrr air 10, 000 punnd Sasannach, 's urrainnear IVF fhaighinn, agus na embryos sin a chur ann am màthair-ionaid. Naodh mìosan an dèidh sin, faodar tilleadh airson an leanabh a thogail. Ach, le tòrr cuspairean moralta a' togail ceann, an urrainnear a bhith a' dèiligeadh ri gnìomhachas nam màthraichean ionaid mar ghnìomhachas sam bith eile?

India is one of few countries to allow payment for child surrogacy. For 10,000 pounds you can receive fertility treatment and have the resulting embryos impregnated in a surrogate mother. Nine months later you return to collect your baby. But with so many ethical issues at play, can surrogacy really be treated like any other business?
