A United Nations report has condemned surrogacy as a practice that 'reduces women and children including girls to mere commodities', as the global industry is projected to grow more than sixfold over the next decade.
The findings come as the worldwide surrogacy industry is on course to grow from $14.95bn (£11.7bn) in 2023 to $99.75bn (£78.4bn) by 2033, an annual growth rate of nearly 21 per cent over the decade.
