qingdao health commission investigates the dark side of underground surrogacy

on august 26, shangguan zhengyi, a well-known anti-trafficking philanthropist, revealed a scandal involving underground surrogacy.

in june this year, he went undercover and learned that qingdao boss cong mouchao had set up an underground laboratory and colluded with doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses and others from tertiary hospitals and other medical institutions to carry out egg retrieval and embryo transplantation activities in the underground laboratory, and sold birth certificates at prices ranging from 50,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan.

shangguan zhengyi said that cong mouchao was nominally providing ivf consulting services, but secretly covered the entire chain of the surrogacy industry. "the agency has a clear division of labor, with one person looking for egg donors online, one person looking for surrogacy clients, one person accompanying the mother during childbirth, and one person connecting with and developing domestic medical institutions."

according to an insider, for each underground operation, the surrogacy agency paid the doctor 1,500 yuan, the anesthesiologist 2,000 yuan, and the nurse 600 yuan in cash. from the first operation in march to june this year, dozens of operations have been performed. in addition, "surrogacy for one child costs 750,000 yuan, and if you want to select the gender, you have to pay another 200,000 yuan, guaranteed."

after the incident was exposed, the qingdao municipal health commission issued a report stating that the commission had formed a joint investigation team with the public security, market supervision and other departments to investigate and verify the relevant situation. once verified, it will be dealt with seriously in accordance with the law.

xiaoci said:

behind the chaos of surrogacy is the driving force of the interest chain and the lack of supervision. from june to december last year, 14 departments including the national health commission and the central political and legal commission jointly launched a special campaign across the country to combat the illegal use of human assisted reproductive technology, standardize the application of human assisted reproductive technology, and severely crack down on all kinds of illegal and criminal acts caused by it.

one-year-old child locked in airplane bathroom, who should be "educated"?

a video of "a young child being taken into an airplane toilet by two strange women to set rules" has sparked controversy.

the woman who filmed the video described the incident, saying that a grandmother was taking her one-year-old granddaughter on a plane. the child was crying non-stop, and many people covered her ears with tissues. so, "the aunt in the video and i took her from her grandmother to the toilet on the plane and didn't let her grandmother in." in the video, the two women set rules for the crying little girl, "when you stop crying for three minutes, i will take you out to find your grandmother."

the "education" method of the two women caused controversy. at present, the video in question has been deleted. in the comments under the video account of the netizen, many netizens posted screenshots of calling the police.

subsequently, juneyao airlines issued a notice on the incident: the two passengers' actions had been approved by the child's grandmother, and the child's mother also expressed her understanding of the two passengers' assistance on the plane. however, this notice triggered another round of uproar, and juneyao airlines was questioned by netizens for condoning passengers' "violence."

xiaoci said:

how can a one-year-old child who cannot even control her own urination and defecation, facing the air pressure, noise and confined environment on the plane, control her emotions? two unfamiliar adults, instead of guardians, surrounded the child in the bathroom and intimidated her to discipline her. this behavior has no legality. the video was posted online afterwards, which is suspected of violating the girl's privacy. in a civilized society, protecting children's rights should be a basic consensus. the crying of infants and young children should be treated with tolerance and correct guidance, rather than the so-called forced "rules".

"in 20 years, i will be 70 years old, and it will be the teenagers today who will take care of me. how they understand death and how they support each other will directly determine what kind of care our generation will receive. our generation is at a crossroads: we are the first generation of parents of only children. the previous generation relied on family support for their old age, and in the future, i hope that more forms of social services will emerge."

"i hope the country will soon introduce humanistic service standards for terminally ill patients. if palliative care is to develop in a healthy way and be popularized to more people like other disciplines, the key is to create a soil for it. even if this generation cannot complete it, the next generation will take over."

(in chengdu, there is a public welfare team called "yisheng anning", which consists of more than a dozen volunteers. over the past five years, they have accompanied hundreds of terminally ill patients in the department of geriatrics of chengdu sixth people's hospital and the hospice center of chengdu eighth people's hospital. er ming, the person in charge of yisheng anning, believes that with the trend of aging, how to face death calmly is a more severe test for the caregivers of the only child generation.)
