Surrogate Mothers: Womb for Rent

After reading this interesting article, answer the following questions:


1. What does “reproductive tourism” mean?
It refers to people who travel to another country in order to get infertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization.
2. What issues might cause an American woman to seek an Indian surrogate?
It seems that in India it is much cheaper and they speak English too.
3. What risks and benefits exist for the surrogate mothers in India?
Some risks are that surrogates may be exploited due to the lack of regulation or may become attached and don't give the baby. Some benefits are that people get money and may have a chance to get a better life and support their family.
4. What risks and benefits exist for the women who hire a surrogate?
People don't know if the surrogate actually takes care during her pregnancy or the living conditions she has. On the other hand, women get a baby without actually having one.(being pregnant)
5. Do you agree with the people who believe that the Indian women are being exploited? Why or why not?

I don't think they are being exploited because women choose to do it or not.
