Very interesting editorial from The China Post about the subject of surrogacy. They are making moves to lift the ban on surrogacy. The editorial suggests that it may have something to do with the fact that Taiwan's Vice President is a proud pappa of two children born via surrogate.
The issue of surrogacy has raised some eyebrows recently with the news that one of Taiwan's most prominent families — namely that of Vice President Lien Chan — had added three new members through two surrogate mothers.Read the full article here:Surrogacy is not yet legal in Taiwan, and Lien's daughter, Hui-hsin, employed the surrogate mothers in the United States, where the practice is legal.It is not certain whether it is a coincidence, but a body of the Cabinet-level Department of Health (DOH) has disclosed that the government will hold a meeting soon to discuss surrogacy, with an aim to accelerate the practice's legalization.
