广州(Guangzhou province)一对富商[1]夫妇结婚多年，无法生育[2]，去年借助试管婴儿[3]技术成功做出8个胚胎[4]，随后，他们找来两个代孕妈妈[5]，通过妈妈本人怀3个，2个代孕者各自怀3个，先后生下4男4女八个孩子。富商夫妇专门请了11个保姆[6]负责照顾孩子，每月开销10多万元。
一些见证了八胞胎奇迹[7]的网友发出感慨:有钱，一切才皆有可能啊。有人算了一笔账，从试管胚胎培育，到代孕妈妈的费用，再加上这期间的医疗和生产[8]花费，至少100万。
令人诧异[9]的是，现在上网打"代孕"二字，立刻能搜索[10]出大量相关信息，法规形同虚设[11]。三个"妈妈"，生下的8个孩子，难道还算"一胎"？这不符合基本国策[12]，有关部门有必要站出来给公众一个解释。中国有钱的人很多，如果只见八胞胎父母的事件，而他们不受到处罚[13]，只会鼓舞后来人效仿[14]。
A rich married couple from Guangzhou province has been married for many years, unable to have children. Last year, aided by test-tube birth technology, they managed to produce 8 embryos. Later, they found two surrogate mothers. Through the biological mother's pregnancy they gave birth to two, while each surrogate mother had 3 babies, successively giving birth to 4 male and 4 female, altogether 8 babies. The rich couple has hired 11 nursemaids to take care of the children, spending more than 100,000 RMB monthly.
Some netizens who have witnessed the 'miracle' of the 8 babies have sighed with emotion: 'With money, everything can be achieved'. Some people calculated the couple's expenses, from cultivating the test-tube embryo until to the money given to the surrogate mothers, adding medical treatment and birth expenses, reaching approximately 1000,000 RMB.
What is astonishing is that the term 'surrogate mothers' can be now found on the internet, as search query brings about numerous relevant information, and the law regulations are practically non-existing. Three 'mothers' having 8 babies is still considered 'single child'? This doesn't conform to basic national policies and relevant departments must step forward and give the public an explanation. There are many rich people in the Chinese society, if they see this incident and no punishment is given, then they will be encouraged to do the same.
