Surrogacy may include in health insurance scheme

[snoop1130]

 

The Health Service Support Department is in consultation with the Office of Insurance Commission and insurance companies to include surrogacy in the health insurance scheme , as the birth rate is falling and Thailand becomes an aging society.

 

The department’s director-general, Dr Sura Wisedsak, said that there are now 114 hospitals and clinics in Thailand offering assisted reproduction technology (ART) to couples who have difficulty conceiving or carrying a pregnancy to full term.

 

The success of ART is about 46%, which is regarded as high, he said, adding that safety for the mothers is also a matter of concern.

Sounds like Thailand are entering a "factory human farming" stage....

Maybe allow the stateless ethnic groups embedded within Thailand to become officially Thai would help.

anything but giving residency status (not nationality) to farang living and working here and having gf/wife/kids ... surrogacy... lol ... sure thais will find a loophole to do it for profits and sell the baby to whomever, before the buyer paid for those costs (japanese with 10+ kids a few years ago via surrogacy)

 

there are enough people, idiots, homeless, poor, uneducated, ...
