• By Any Means - Episode 5 - The Surrogacy Sisterhood

  Surrogacy is the pointy end of the fertility industry – the last resort for conceiving babies that are genetically linked to their parents. In Australia, the only legal option for surrogacy is via someone offering to carry a baby altruistically. Who are these women who are happy to carry a baby for a stranger? Amelia sends Senior Producer Claudianna Blanco to Tasmania for the Surrogacy Sisterhood retreat – a first for any Australian journalist. Then, we meet a couple risking it all to undertake commercial international surrogacy in Latin America. And ask the question – how can you trust a clinic is doing the right thing abroad? Don't want to wait until next week? Episode 6 is available now on the LiSTNR app. If you would like to get in touch email [email protected] omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
