Surrogacy Delivers

Don’t you love ordering in dinner and letting the deliveryman carry all the groceries up for you? But it appears delivery girls, who carry babies, are the ones really cashing in, as surrogacy gets more popular than pizza. And at $20,000 a delivery, the tips are the best in the business! According to a Newsweek article entitled “Wombs For Rent”, advances in science over the past decade have caused the in vitro fertilization success rate to jump to 70-90%, which is an increase of nearly 40%. Although the total count of surrogate births is still debated, in 2007, it’s estimated to have risen at least 30% to possibly 1,000. And if you count movie magic, then add in SNL sisters Tina Faye and Amy Poehler, who are already starring in a spoof of this phenomenon in a film called Baby Mama which will open the Tribeca Film Festival later this month in New York.
