New Delhi (The Express Tribune) :Commercial
surrogacy is a booming industry in India with legions of childless
foreign couples looking for a low-cost, legally simple route to
parenthood.
While the Indian government has been pushing the country as a medical
tourism destination, the issue of wealthy foreigners paying poor
Indians to have babies has raised ethical concerns in many Indian minds
about “baby factories”.
The Confederation of Indian Industry, a leading business association,
estimates the industry now generates more than $2 billion in revenues
annually.
