crystal, you're in this business with world of surrogacy. perhaps when this all began it was just infertile couples. is there a new--as society changes, as gay marriage comes online in more places are there new constituencies coming forward and saying we can take advantage of this as well? >> certainly, i think what happened was when india started the whole process with surrogacy it was not just infertile couples. a lot of couples were people who were older and their eggs have aged out, such as myself. and a lot of gay and single people were opting for this option of surrogacy because it was, frankly, a lot easier than going the adoption route. at least it was better to have some of your genetics than no genetics. as part of modernity, this is not going to stop. pandora's box has opened and we have to figure out guidelines and laws to be put in place to remedy some of these situations like this situation, like baby gammy. >> paul, now that the box is open, will the world of legislation catch up quickly, or might this be a social change that

the surrogate's name is not on the birth serive case. >> is it as clear to you as crystal. that you have no parental rights when a child emerges from your womb? >> no. because sometimes us do have some rights. but, for example, that hypothetical girl na is having the baby in that state in mexico. no one is holding her prisoner. somewhere during the pregnancy if she gets on the bus, she's gone, and the baby is gone. the american couple that have their baby in that country, they live forever with the knowledge that that child is raised in a manner that is holy unanticipatable. it's not that clear cut. it hucially works out. --uably works out. but it is hazardous. >> it usually works out. there has to be a certain level of goodwill involved, along with the legal arrangements and the party's promising each other things, there has to be an intention to follow through. >> it's interesting that most of the surrogacy arrangements do follow through, and there is a child who is given to the intending parents, so what is important. it is important that there be goodwill, trust, cooper

let me ask a cnn commentator and crystal write. >> crystal, do you think it's appropriate that al sharpton this blog? >> no. i don't consider al sharpton an activist? i consider him an ibs city gator of race wars and racial tensions in america. he did this with tawana brawly way back in the '80s. this is what he does. the crazy thing about it is msnbc has now given him a show and he tries to come off as an objective journalist and he's anything but. as you mentioned -- >> do you think he comes off as a journalist? i don't think he would say a journalist. >> why should he have a show -- i don't think he should be called a journalist. i don't think he should be called a civil rights advocate. he hasn't advocated for peace and justice in over three decades, brian. >> a couple of things here. first, al sharpton, whether we like him or not, and i happen to like him, he's certainly an activist. that's what he does. any definition of activist he fits whether you like his level or type of activism is a different conversation. al sharpton would not argue he was objective journalist. i think he's so
