Because it is against the law. It is seen both as babyselling and exploitation. If you don't have someone who just wants to volunteer, you are out of luck.Why don't surrogate mothers get paid in Australia?
No it won't change, it is illegal because it should not be used as an option by women who are short of cash, like 'rent-a-womb', but only by women who genuinely want to help out a couple.
