Reproductive tourism nightmares

A German couple are still waiting to take home their twin sons after two years of legal wrangling. The children were caught in citizenship limbo after an Indian surrogate mother gave birth to them in February 2008.

The case has now reached the highest court in India's slow-paced judicial system, where it continues to wrestle with the children's problematic citizenship status. Brisbane Times
