Why would any woman choose to carry a baby for a total stranger? Modern medicine has enabled the childless to have a baby that\u2019s blood-related, by using another woman to carry the pregnancy to term. But what does it feel like to hand over a child that\u2019s been growing in your womb? And should money be involved? Some people condemn surrogacy as a dangerous industry that exploits the vulnerable. Others see it as a welcome solution to the heartache of infertility.

Mary-Ann Ochota explores the emotional and ethical complexities of surrogacy and meets women from around the world who\u2019ve chosen to give birth to babies for others.
