The Spectator | Miriam Cates on our duty to protect the vulnerable, both mothers and especially surrogate babies @SpectatorTV | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
The surrogacy industry becomes more popular, lucrative and fashionable by the day. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Elton John, and Paris Hilton have all publicly used surrogates, and discuss their decision openly.

The Spectator’s deputy broadcast editor Natasha Feroze is joined by writer and campaigner Julie Bindel and former MP and broadcaster Miriam Cates.
