the designer baby factory

Immediately on the heels of 'Vicky Donor' highlighting the penchant for handsome, beautiful and smart kids through sperm donation there is a story in 'dailymail' on designer babies through surrogacy.

And the economics:

Few American women are willing to act as surrogates — at least not cheaply — but impoverished Indian women are literally queuing up outside surrogacy clinics these days. It is cheaper to hire a womb here than anywhere else in the world, hence its dubious place at the centre of the sci-fi-style 'global baby' boom.
