Outsourcing a Womb

Physicians first relied on surrogate wombs to assist women who, for health reasons, could not bear children of their own. But healthy career women from Singapore and India, who did not want to take any time off from their work, have also turned to surrogates as well, reports Gagandeep Kaur in the Hindu Business Line. Many doctors reject such requests, but with the number of inquiries on the rise, Kaur ponders whether the workplace has become too demanding, whether women strive to have no differences from their male competitors or whether consumerism has transformed every human choice or capability into a commodity. – YaleGlobal
