Womb For Rent

"Where are you going?" my colleague Diane asked me as she noticed me packing all my belongings from the office into a cardboard box.

She's going to rent out her womb to a rich couple. Acting as their surrogate, and in return they'll offer her a place to stay, she won't have to work, they'll pay for her living expenses and at the end of it all, she'll be left with a large sum of money. Sounds pretty straight forward.

What could possibly go wrong?
