I had a great aunt who couldn’t get pregnant so she and her husband found some poor, working class woman in LA with a womb for hire. Her husband impregnated her (this was the 1950’s so I’m not sure exactly how that went down) and when she had the baby they all went to the hospital. My aunt walked away with a baby and her name on the birth certificate. So Handmaiden’s Tale it’s scary.

Can we have the name of the author who write about surrogacy and prostitution, she (he?) was named in the first 20 minutes of the episode ? Thanks!
Great episode!

You guys are amazing – I’ve loved this series on surrogacy and you are my tribe.
Thank you for letting your listeners know that Canada’s altruistic model still allows for lots of $ to go to surrogates – which is why is a flourishing industry there.
