Reproductive tourism slavery and business

“The Akanksha clinic is at the forefront of India’s booming trade in so-called reproductive tourism — foreigners coming to the country for infertility treatments such as in vitro fertilization. The clinic’s main draw, however, is its success using local women to have foreigners’ babies. Surrogacy costs about $12,000 in India, including all medical expenses and the surrogate’s fee. In the U.S., the same procedure can cost up to $70,000.”

India is one of the countries that has more poverty in the world, measures for ending poverty in India are a known issue that has had many answers but has never provided a real life solution for the Indian population. Poverty is one of the issues that are relevant to our society, and scientists are investigating ways to reduce de amount of poverty worldwide. Reproductive tourism may seem like an excellent solution for poor mother to earn money, but it’s not. Surrogated mother are not considering the implications of this growing problem.

Constant body rental can have many dangerous problems because it damages many tissues. Constant pregnancy can affect the uterus and liver, generating huge damage in does organs that may generate future infertility problems. But tissue damage is not the only problem this activity can cause; it can also generate damage to the wellbeing of the mother resulting in abuses of the clinic, and a later slavery.


Renting a woman’s uterus is just disgraceful, how can we let poor mother be forced to rent their own bodies for money. We are falling into nothing more than slavery where poor mother have to give away their own body to have something to eat. As a 21st century society we can’t permit women to be slaved by clinics exploiting their bodies for money
