The Baby Makers

We meet the couples desperate for a child and the women in India who give birth to babies they will never know.


The birth business is thriving in India. Childless couples from around the world are flocking to the country, pinning their hopes on the poor young Indian women willing to bear other people’s babies.

In poverty-plagued India, the thousands of dollars couples pay their surrogates can open the door to a much brighter future.

But critics say the women – and increasingly would-be parents -- are being exploited as ethics are swept aside in pursuit of profit.
