BBC: Teen girls rescued from baby-making factory in Nigeria

[Delphinium20]

This is horrifying. There's also been sexual abuse and prostitution committed on these poor girls. Sickening.

I think there are many facets of the current situation in Nigeria that are simply not being reported at all. Or rather are only on pages such as the one you link - the information is there, it's just not getting any attention.

I can see lots of stories but not that one.

Horrific.

My god.

the main thing I think - putting aside the utter horror of this for one moment - is that it really is time for the uk government to criminalise going overseas for surrogacy. There are appalling abuses taking place in countries where surrogacy is not regulated properly and we should not permit British citizens to contribute to this dubious business.

Abso bloody lutely, Tully.

If you create a market then you create people who will exploit others to satisfy that market. Surrogacy and adoption from overseas (unless exceptional circumstances like the death of a family member) needs to be stopped.

Yep, agreed. Altruistic, uk surrogacy and adoption only. And pressure other wealthy nations to do same.
if you’re not allowed to buy a baby here why should you be let do it elsewhere?

Totally agree
