Thailand cracks down on surrogacy
July 30, 2015
A new Thai law banning commercial surrogacy and the sale of human sperm cells and eggs goes into effect on July 30.
The law follows a number of controversial surrogacy cases involving foreigners, including an Australian couple's refusal to accept a baby with Down syndrome and a Thai woman's decision not to allow the child she bore to be adopted by a Spanish-American male homosexual couple.

Does it not seem that the women involved are renting their wombs to sell not only their descendants but their ancestors as well? We used to pity the female who was reduced to prostitution or unknowingly recruited. This is something totally different. The wheels of culture have come off or I'm getting old. Probably both. Come, Lord Jesus!
