Heart of the Matter: Wombs for Rent

on BBC One London

Is it right for childless couples to "rent a womb" and to pay for the service? Kim Cotton , the first surrogate mother in Britain, argues that we should learn from the American example set by Bill Handel , whose clinic offers "professional" surrogacy and minimises the risk of baby deals going wrong. Kim Cotton and Bill Handel join Professor Ian Craft, Dr David Cook and Dr Linda Hogan to discuss the issues with Joan Bakewell.
