It sounds like a pretty great deal for the women of India. There are long waiting lists for Indian woman who want to be in the surrogacy program. I saw this on Oprah’s show in 2007. The women must stay in a facility the entire pregnancy and be monitored. Then they set up an account in just the woman’s name. They protect the money to make sure their low life husbands dont squander it. If she wants a house, they hold the money until that time. The Indian woman bought a really nice house and was living much better than before.

Facilitating the abomination of nature is never a “great deal”.

It’s sort of like playing the role of a frog in the plague upon the Pharaohs of (New)Egypt.

If all it takes to be "OK" is mutual consent and a transfer of money, why, again, is selling babies and children illegal?

There are all kinds of ways to make money which are, nevetheless, inhuman. Porn "actresses" permit themselves to be degraded, violated, and filmed for money; there was a case a couple of years ago in Germany about a guy who "voluntarily" agreed to be killed and cannibalized by another guy: yes, there was a contract and money had been handed over.

Some things have a value which goes beyond money: that would include the sanctity of life; the marital bond, which implicitly involves having sexual relations and offspring only with one's wedded spouse; and the maternal bond, which naturally, intimately, fiercely links a woman to the child she carried and to whom she gave birth.

These bonds are natural forms of attachment, significantly related to human flourishing, which, in wise and civilized societies, are involate in custom and supported by law.

In societies which are in the process of de-civilizing and de-humanizing: not so much.

And to make it all, if possible, worse: handing two baby girls over to a couple of sexually deviant males who will guarantee that these little girls will never know their genetic mother, their gestational mother, a familial mother --- any mother of any sort, ever.

And we--- we're supposed to accept that babies have no human rights. Whose humanity has been tested and found wanting here: theirs? Or ours?
