Mum aims for ninth
surrogate baby

"People call me
rent-a-womb, which is unkind. But I do what I do for
the love of it. It's not about money, it's about
making childless couples happy" - Carole Horlock

A woman who has given birth to eight surrogate babies
has sparked fresh controversy by trying for a ninth
baby.
Thirty-six-year-old Carole
Horlock has signed a £15,000 expense deal to give birth
to a baby for another couple in the UK.
She unveiled her plans only
weeks after giving birth to the eighth baby.
Ms Horlock said: "People
call me rent-a-womb, which is unkind. But I do what I do
for the love of it. It's not about money, it's about
making childless couples happy."
Pro-life campaigners have
condemned her actions. John Smeaton of the Society for
the Protection of Unborn Children said: "To deliberately
disturb the psychology of the child from the outset is
wrong.
"Separating a child from its
biological mother is unnatural and will cause that child
great suffering and pain."
Her family are also unhappy
about Ms Horlock's actions and motives. Her father, a
committed Christian, has condemned her actions and her
ex-husband, Stephen Horlock, said: "Money is definitely
what drives Carole. She will never reveal how much she
makes from it. She has never really held down a proper
job. I find the whole surrogacy thing bizarre."
