If it's not her baby, then what incentive does the surrogate have to push it out of her vag?

Childbirth is really difficult, and if the woman isn't legitimately motivated the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.

Nidiot: There are worse ways to make a living. Pretty sure a lot of Indian women are getting pregnant and giving birth multiple times during their lifetime without ever getting paid for it at all.

Yes, but in those cases they at least get the penis, which has got to be worth something.

thorsmistress: There's a chapter in The Red Market that details one of these baby farms. After a certain date, the women are not allowed outside and must stay in the same small room all day-similar to cattle.

So, they're treated like gods? Sounds rough.

Ugh. Don't type 'Hot Indian Women' into Google. You get strange results.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Actually, it's not widely reported but this practice dates back hundreds of years. Unfortunately, in about 10% of cases, the surrogate mother forms a bond with the child and in some cases actually goes and kidnaps the child months, it even years after the birth. It's where the term "Indian giver" originates from.

That's an awful lot of money just to have somebody malnourish your fetus.

what is the return policy

serial_crusher: I hope the parents are doing DNA tests on those kids, because it would be a lot easier to just buy or kidnap some white Eastern European baby and send it on over.

You should see the packaging they use for shipping

Good luck, caucasians.

Great. I saw a documentary recently about the brothels in India...now all I can imagine is a kennel full of Indian women, run by folks pimping out their wombs to white ladies. Little rooms, all lined up, with a blanket and bowl of curry in each. Baby brokers/couples do walk throughs and talk about the adorable eyes on that one, or the playfulness of this one. They hand over some cash, promise to give the whelp it's shots and excitedly talk about what to name the new addition on the ride home.

fusillade762: But what caste is she? This is important, people!

If she's overseas, and they never have contact, I'm going with 'untouchable'...

Sgygus: our golden Caucasian genes

Indian people are anthropologically Caucasian.

Caucasian? What's that? They are asking for the race of all patients now at the doctors office so they can properly track everyone and garner statistics. "Caucasian" is a dirty word now. You are a 'non-Hispanic' white person..move along citizen.

why pay new baby prices when you can buy used, for just $.75 a day (the price of a cup of coffee) you could buy a malnuresed african baby with flies buzzing around its head. makes a great gift too.

I didn't realize it was possible to care less about how other people breed, until I read this article.

just wait until they perfect cloning. They'll send a proper baby back to the parents who wanted their 'own' child without the headaches of pregnancy. Meanwhile, the baby factory will also grow clones of the same child. Those clones will be brought up to be stone cold killers, with absolutely nothing to live for and nothing to lose. In time, an angry army of their own genetic making will descend upon the parents' home countries and wipe them from the face of the earth. Thus will the poor nations' revenge be exacted upon the indulgent and decadent amoral nations of the first world west.

Oh, and the clones will have a shelf life like the replicants in Blade Runner.

/or WILL they?

haywatchthis: what is the return policy

You need to call "support" and talk to "Steve."

ExperianScaresCthulhu:
That treads too close to 'Africans sold Africans into slavery, therefore Africa is most at fault for the Triangular Trade." Look, man: If it's Westerners doing the buying, it's not India doing this to its women. India is taking advantage, but the West is the one creating a 'want' which should not exist in a world full of abandoned children.

Children are just another commodity, like a purebred dog. I want the best product I can get, not some cut-rate, second-hand child. And if I can afford it, I should be able to buy anything I want. Free market and all that. It's why we are soooo awesome--because we buy shiat. All of it.

It's an honor for these women to be used as breeder cows.

You missed my wife's vagina, come again!

Why would I want a curry addicted baby?

popinjay: I bet you can pay just 50% that price in China.

Would the one child policy interfere?

I was disgusted by the story itself and the state of a society when poor women are forced to sell their bodies in yet ANOTHER way to survive. Then you came along and now all I can do is laugh. I love Fark.

... I'd prefer to deliver the sperm in person.
