Briton Rekha Patel, 42, holds her week-old-baby girl Gabriella, as her husband Daniele Fabbricatore, 39, watches inside an intensive care unit at the Akanksha IVF centre in Anand town, about 70 km (44 miles) south from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad August 25, 2013. Gabriella was carried and delivered by an Indian surrogate mother Naina Patel. India is a leading centre for surrogate motherhood, partly due to Hinduism’s acceptance of the concept. The world’s second test tube baby was born in Kolkata only two months after Louise Brown in 1978. Rising demand from abroad for Indian surrogate mothers has turned “surrogacy tourism” there into a billion dollar industry, according to a report by the Law Commission of India.
