NCRI – In addition to the phenomenon of abortion, there is also the phenomenon of ‘wombs for rent’ which has been widely spread in Iran in recent years.
In its 595th issue on October 31, Noavaran newspaper has published a report on selling fetus in th womb which reads: “in the country’s economic and social mess and among strange, uncomfortable ads on selling kidneys and other things seen on the corner of the streets, hospitals and clinics, there has also been a new, more exotic ad in recent years and that is selling fetus in the womb.”
The newspaper points to the opportunist bands within the regime who have set up firms to take advantage of the people living in poverty and continues to write: “although the issue of selling fetus done individually as a means of livelihood is regrettable, but turning it into a business by brokerage bands who are willing to turn anything into profit is even more regrettable.”
The newspaper continues: “by setting up brokerage firms, these opportunist bands are taking advantage of the poor people on one hand and the need of infertile couples on the other, thus fishing in troubled waters and trading eggs in exchange for million-toman prices so that according to some documented reports, an amount of 3-12 million tomans is exchanged in the course of buying and selling a fetus.”
The newspaper recommends that “if trading embryos is supposed to be a solution for child bearing of infertile couples, then all aspects of it need to be carefully studied and reviewed by all the bodies concerned so as to be banned if it’s going to have any undesirable consequences or be closely monitored to prevent it from going astray in case it can be used as an alternative solution.”
It should be pointed out that the huge thefts and astronomical frauds by regime’s officials, parts of which are revealed everyday in regime’s media, are the main reason why the Iranian people are living in so much poverty and misery that they are willing to sell their unborn babies for making a living.
