Anger over Thailand’s surrogacy practices were furthered exacerbated when news of a Japanese man, found to have allegedly fathered up to 21 babies, hit the news. Businessman Mitsutoki Shigeta came under investigation after Thai authorities found nine babies, between the ages of two weeks to two years, living with seven nannies and a seven-month pregnant woman in a condo in Lat Phrao. Both cases prompted law makers to work towards establishing laws that would safeguard the interest of the baby and mother and take legal action against commercial surrogacy.
