It costs roughly $80,000 to hire a surrogate mother in the U.S. Couples are turning to India for a cheaper option. An Indian surrogate costs merely $6,000 - $10,000. While it's dramatically less than an American surrogate, it is enough for an Indian woman to buy a house. Judith Warner explores the ethical issues with womb outsourcing.

    these women are doing what they have to do to survive. i cant say i approve or disaprove but its just something different that you dont really hear about. I cant imagine what any of them must be thinking.

    This is as 21st century as it gets. Hiring surrogate mothers? In 30 years time what on earth are we going to be debating?

    im interested: are these surrogate mothers hired because the client could not herself have any children or is it because she is too lazy to have/carry/deliver the child?

    Probably for many different reasons. My partner and I have discussed having a surrogate mother carry our child in the future. The reduced price is certainly appealing. Typically it costs about $100,000 in the United States by the time lawyers and doctors are paid. It is probably equally expensive in the UK.
