A wealthy Chinese man who wants to expand his family tree faces a bump on the road after a US judge rejects his request for parentage to multiple surrogate babies born in America. The billionaire wants a mega-family, but Los Angeles Judge Amy Pellman found the move questionable after learning that he had already fathered at least eight surrogates.
The case highlights how ultra-wealthy foreign nationals are exploiting America's largely unregulated surrogacy industry to create vast dynasties, often driven by cultural and dynastic ambitions.
