Comments on: Rent-A-Womb http://www.8asians.com/2008/01/22/rent-a-womb/ A blog for Asian Americans Sun, 12 Feb 2012 19:46:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Obi http://www.8asians.com/2008/01/22/rent-a-womb/comment-page-1/#comment-82522 Obi Mon, 11 Aug 2008 13:47:40 +0000 http://www.8asians.com/2008/01/22/rent-a-womb/#comment-82522 Just read of a Japanese couple who had a "rent a womb". They have now broken up and the biological mother does not want the child. The father does and he currently has his mother taking care of the baby, In India. The problem is that by Indian Law, he cannot adopt the child by himself. He should have enough money to sort out the problem, but these contracts should be ironclad. If the couple were to split up; who gets the baby? Just read of a Japanese couple who had a “rent a womb”.

Is this just another example of globalization and industrialization or is this an example of dehumanization at its best? What do you mean, Bo? Do you "rea..lly" care for them? ( I mean about poor ladies in India and unfortunate couples who are unable to have their own babies or was it just a talk?) So, what do you think?

(It was definitely my experience when I was in India for business a couple of years ago.)

Women in the US or Europe can get paid $30K or more to be surrogate mothers while the Indian women only get $6K - $10K. Basically, this means that someone has decided that 9 months of a western women's life is 3 -5 times more valuable than a woman in India. Banana Republic, you bring up another interesting point.
