Surrogacy moves millions of dollars around the world and Colombia has become one of the main destinations for this industry in Latin America. However, the country continues to operate in a legal vacuum: although the practice is only allowed for altruistic purposes, intermediary agencies, clinics and law firms have built a market that can reach $100,000 per process. While foreign couples travel to the country in search of more accessible treatments and fewer restrictions than in other nations, more and more Colombian women are finding a source of income in surrogacy in the midst of economic precariousness. Fifteen years after the Constitutional Court warned of the need to regulate this activity, doubts persist about who really benefits from the business, what rights pregnant women have and what the ethical limits of an industry in full expansion are.
