India’s booming rent-a-womb industry Vasanti shall be paid $8000 for her troubles. The procedure for injecting her womb with the embryo of the Japanese couple was undertaken in the Akanksha IVF Centre in Anand town of the Gujrat state. If a surrogate mother carries twin embryos until the time of delivery she is paid $10,000 but if she suffers a miscarriage during the first three months, then she is only paid $600 for her troubles. Moreover, if the birthing process is successful, the shelter home is paid a fee of $18,000 by the donor couple. Vasanti is paid for her troubles every month; a payment which greatly exceeds her husband’s $40 monthly salary. Surrogate mothers in India have no rights over their children after they are born, and neither are they expected to care or be responsible for them.
