Episode #6: Surrogacy and International Development, the case of Mexico with April Hovav - a podcast by A-id Think Tank

In episode #6 of the A-id podcast, we were joined by Dr April Hovav to discuss the important topic of surrogacy looking specifically at the country of Mexico. 

Dr April Hovav is a Post-Doc at the Institute for Practical Ethics at the University of California, San Diego who has carried out extensive research work on surrogacy in Mexico and published for prestigious research outlets including Social Science & Medicine and Gender & Society. 

To start things off, Dr Hovav explains to us why surrogacy is such a complicated issue with diverging views that cover a number of social and moral questions. We then look at how the surrogacy industry works and how it highlights the vast wealth inequalities between countries. Finally, to wrap things up, Dr Hovav tells us about her findings from her research on the surrogacy industry in Mexico.
