Nepal has become the preferred destination for Israeli homosexual couples who want to purchase the services of a surrogate mother. This made the news this week when Israel flew 26 couples and their babies out of Nepal after the recent earthquake. McClatchy News Service reports: “Although Tel Aviv is one of the gay capitals of the world, Israeli law doesn't allow same-sex couples to adopt or to have children via surrogates in their home country. So foreign surrogacy has boomed in Israel over the last decade, first in India--until it restricted the service to heterosexual couples--then in Nepal. Magdassi said surrogacy in Nepal could cost as little as a fifth of the price in America. ... Magdassi said about 40 children had been born through Lotus Surrogacy since she began operating in Nepal last year. Legal experts in Israel say about 100 children a year are born via surrogates to Israeli parents” (“Infants born to gay Israelis via surrogate moms are rescued in Nepal,” Miami Herald, Apr. 28, 2015). This reminds us that though Israel is back in her land, she remains in a spiritually dead condition.
