印度阿南德的代孕診所

In the center of Anand, the Akanskha Infertility Center was founded by Doctor Nayana Patel. It showed up on the radar of international media when in 2003, she orchestrated the surrogacy of a local woman who wanted to “lend” her womb to her U.K.-based daughter. Indian surrogacy is already a $445-million-a-year business. And it’s not a surprise with prices that are only a fraction of the expences couples would face in the western world. A surrogate pregnancy can cost around 70.000 USD in the UK or the US, while only 12.000 USD in India.While the system lends itself to the criticism of being just another form of exploitation of the poor by couples happy to spend only a tenth of what it would cost them back home, it might as well be seen as a form of cooperation. Being a surrogate mother actually gives impoverished women of India an opportunity to build a better future for their kids, by paying for their tuition and buying a new house.

在印度阿南德，女性不孕救助中心由納亞娜·帕特爾醫生創立，這在2003年吸引了國際媒體媒體的關注。當時她正在精心為一位當地婦女安排代孕事宜，這位母親想將自己的子宮“借”給她在英國的女兒。從那時起，在很多外國夫妻的委托下，印度進行了很多成功的代孕交易。印度的代孕產業已經成為一項每年約445萬美元的生意。代孕產業引來一些爭議，因為一些人認為是對窮人的另一種廉價的剝削，另一些人則看成是一項合作。但對于生活條件不好的印度婦女來說，做代孕媽媽的報酬可以用來付學費或買更好的房子，從而給她們的孩子創造更好的未來。
