The Surrogacy Business

Available for over a year

Commercial surrogacy, where women carry the babies of paying couples, is a significant global trade. But major centres like India are considering banning the practice amid legal and ethical concerns. Are women being put at risk? The BBC's Jane Garvey speaks to Miranda Davies, author of Babies for Sale, and Konstantina Davaki, health researcher at the London School of Economics. And Manuela Saragosa hears about the legal state of play around the world from Helen Prosser, director of Brilliant Beginnings, a surrogacy agency in the UK which helps couples find surrogate mothers around the world.
