Google Baby

Το μόνο που χρειάζεται για να απόκτήσεις παιδί είναι μια πιστωτική κάρτα.
Η παγκοσμιοποίηση δημιούργησε μια νέα αγορά και μια νέα βιομηχανία στις χώρες όπως η Ινδία ,τη βιομηχανία των παρένθετων μητέρων με κόστος μικρότερο από των δυτικών χωρών.

In 2006, Israeli documentarian Zippi Brand Frank was studying as a Neiman Journalism Fellow at Harvard University when she became fascinated by the campus’ bulletin boards. She noticed an increasing number of ads calling for women’s embryos (tall, attractive and with good SAT scores only, please) being plastered all over the college. She soon learned how technical — and corporate — having a baby through a surrogate was becoming. Thus, the idea for her documentary “Google Baby,” which debuts tonight on HBO2, was born.

In particular, Frank became interested in the outsourcing of surrogacy to countries like India, where clinics, like that of Dr. Navna Patel in Anand, India, can employ hundreds of women as surrogates for strangers’ babies — at a fraction of the cost of using a Western surrogate. “It’s certainly a growing business over there,” says Frank. “And there are no regulations, no ethics. There was talk of limiting or regulating it, but the lobby of the doctors is so strong [in India], this is how it worked out.”
