Same-Sex Couple Sues Surrogate Who Refused to Abort Baby With Cleft Lip

A same-sex male couple in Canada is suing a surrogate mother who says she is being punished for refusing their request to abort the baby she was carrying after doctors detected a cleft lip and a possible heart defect. The surrogate says the couple 'threw me away' after she declined, reigniting debate over the ethics of commercial surrogacy.
