I just watched this Channel 4 Documentary. It seems it's avaialable in the US at HBO.
Anyone else seen it? If not -- it's quite a long documentary, but well worth watching to the end.

Globalisation and the internet are making it easier to have a baby.
Israeli entrepreneur Doron proposes a new service: pregnancy producing. His customers can select their preferred sperm and eggs online, with surrogacy outsourced to India.
Multiple embryos are produced, frozen and packed before being shipped to India to be implanted in the wombs of local surrogates. After nine months, the customers can collect their babies.
Technology has turned 'making a baby' into an act independent of sex, and globalisation is making it affordable: all you need is a credit card and internet access. But what are the ethical and moral complications?
