There was a woman organize embryo business, I think the promise in the hundreds of thousands but instances where they weren't paid the full amount. They talked freely to the cameras & journalists however over in another part of India there was one promising a low amount right off the bat & seemed incredibly shady with the telling the cameras to go away & didn't want to talk at all.

There was an undercover journalist trying to uncover how it works was at a dinner suggested she liked that baby so she wanted to find out more as a buyer, they offered to sell that baby to her right on the spot -- essentially human trafficking. I think India's wealth disparities are well-documented, Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. As I noted down-thread, KBR & Halluburton have been human trafficking slave labor from Nepal for over decade in addition to Asia's & Africa's poor. Really saddening the dire situations that exist that instead of putting humanitarian efforts (I'm sure the US will give a little something for earthquake relief) instead see an opportunity to exploit & abuse in addition to the this surrogate economy.

There's actually a cohort of stateless babies stuck in orphanages in India because of that.

This is what always happens in surrogate births.

along with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, & Kuwait whose economies are built off the backs of imported labor. I've been so glad I watch Newshour for coverage on this & these days I wonder how my Nepalese friend is doing & where he is these days

I've posted about him on DU

Anyways his dream was to come to America and he would constantly ask questions about here. For those two months I was there were only handled two meals(Midnight and Breakfast) so we had a lot of down time to talk. I even looked online for him on information on how to immigrate but I couldn't find information relevant to his case. I found info like must be highly skilled in an area for example like playing sports or highly skilled scientist. Things like that. I found information on immigration for Iraqis or Afghan people that helped US forces but that didn't apply because he is from Nepal. I felt sad but then I think of some of the people here like teabaggers then I think it might not be so bad. I think about him a lot and I do hope he's made his way to the US. He would make an excellent civilian as well as many TCN's who work their ass off for little pay.

The thing I remember well is when looking up how to immigrate to the US, it would have been possible if he was from India but since he was from Nepal it wasn't allowed, can't remember exactly the terms but since he was labor through subcontractor of a subcontractor of KBR during the war but it is despicable overall the way the Department & Defense exploits & abuses Asia's & Africa's poor especially the Halliburtons & KBRs.

Israel.

but the recent quakes in Nepal & the image of the week as a connection to the poor people of Nepal it was something that was on my mind recently. With the poverty, I can't imagine it isn't only Indian surrogates especially with the unique laws but with everything happening & the overall treatment from our own Department of Defense I feel strongly about it who also human traffics India's poor too I felt it was appropriate to add my thoughts here . The countries are right next too each other so an Indian could easily pass off as Nepalese, if I'm not mistaken Nepal is ruled by a Hindu monarchy.

On edit -- I have been thinking a lot of where he is & how he has been affected by this tragedy, mothers trying to pick up the rubble to find their children underneath the rubble. It is a horrific situation, I can't help but mention it.

were under the same moral obligation to fly as many victims as possible to Israel? Is that it? My! Mr Roy has some imagination.

And this by a man hailing from a country where women are gang-raped, murdered and then vilified by their killers - with seemingly scant effective remedial action taken by their legislature.

An Israeli Boeing-747 returned from Nepal to Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport on Tuesday afternoon, and among its 229 passengers were 15 Israeli babies, all born within the past six weeks to surrogate mothers in Nepal.

Some of the babies were with their Israeli parents and others were cared for by Israeli passengers. None of the surrogate mothers were allowed to travel.

The infants’ arrival completed the evacuation of 26 surrogate Israeli babies from Nepal, where a devastating earthquake on Saturday killed more than 4,000. The rescue process, coupled with widely published photos of the newborns being cradled by Israeli medics on the Tel Aviv tarmac, has thrust Israel’s reliance on Nepalese surrogates into the spotlight, revealing a little known link between Nepal and Israel and starting a debate here about the ethics of international surrogacy.


The future of Israeli surrogacy in Nepal remains up in the air. “The main concern right now is lack of clean water and things like that,” said Dana Magdassi, founder of Israel’s Lotus Surrogacy Agency. “I’m not going to send someone in for treatment right now, but in one or two months, I think we can definitely reconsider.”

Was there ever an agreement that the surrogate mothers were going to be brought to Israel? If not, then this is another made-up opportunity to bash the Jewish state. If you think that anti-Semitism isn't at least part of the motivation for this story, you're not keeping up with the propaganda machine.

and their links to Israeli newspapers on this.

Oh ........ any criticism of Israeli is anti antisemitism.......... that's a crap argument.

A great deal of criticism of Israel is motivated by anti-Semitism, though, and you know it as well as I do.
