According to Xinhua news agency, the interim parliament of Thailand passed a law on the 19th to prohibit foreigners from seeking commercial surrogacy services in Thailand, so as to stop this "renting uterus" industry
A Thai lawmaker said: "this law is to prevent Thai women's wombs from becoming wombs all over the world
This law prohibits foreign couples from seeking commercial surrogacy services in Thailand
" The decree only prohibits foreign couples from seeking surrogacy services in Thailand, and does not prohibit Thai couples or couples whose one party is Thai from seeking surrogacy
However, surrogacy women must be Thai over the age of 25
Last year, a surrogate mother in Thailand gave birth to a dragon and Phoenix fetus to an Australian couple, who only took away a healthy baby girl and refused to raise a baby boy suffering from Down syndrome
The matter caused an uproar
In addition, a Japanese man also gave birth to at least 16 babies through a Thai surrogate
