Nope, now it's kids too, as people from the west trek to India to have their babies carried by surrogates in what basically amounts to a baby factory in Anand India.
Isn't that swell?
For infertile couples I suppose this is an alternative, but I myself happen to find something a little gruesome about the test tube and petri dish cultivation of human beings. Particularly when there are so many orphaned and adoptable children throughout the world that need parents and homes that are already here. Just my personal opinion.
Western couples outsource pregnancy
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: World: "ANAND, India -- Every night in this quiet Indian city, 15 pregnant women prepare for sleep in the house they share, ascending the stairs in a procession of ballooned bellies.
Their pregnancies would be unusual anywhere else but are common here. The young mothers of Anand are pregnant with the children of infertile couples from around the world.
Anand's surrogate mothers, pioneers in the growing field of outsourced pregnancies, have given birth to roughly 40 babies.
More than 50 women in this city are now pregnant with the children of infertile couples from the United States, Taiwan, Britain and beyond.
Ritu Sodhi of Los Angeles turned to the clinic in Anand after spending $200,000 on in-vitro fertilization. ''We were so desperate,'' she said.
Commercial surrogacy has been legal in India since 2002, as it is in the United States. But India is the leader in making it an industry rather than a rare fertility treatment. AP"
