Lure of Hope - On the Transnational Surrogacy Trail from Australia to India

India was the first among a trail of "pop up" third-party reproductive destinations including Thailand, Nepal, Mexico, and now Cambodia. Alongside the detailed ethnographic account of the experiences of parents and surrogate mothers the author offers a careful analysis of regulatory systems governing surrogacy and embryo use in Australia and India.
