大象传媒

This is the second programme in a series of three looking at how an ordinary life can be transformed by extraordinary events. One minute Kim Cotton was a housewife, the mother of two children, but then she saw a programme about an American agency looking for surrogate mothers in the UK. She was fascinated and decided it would be a way for her to earn money for her family. She became pregnant with a child that became known as Baby Cotton for a fee of 拢6,000. Everything was fine until she decided to sell her story to the Daily Star for 拢15,000. She was vilified by much of the media and the public for both selling the baby and then making money from the newspaper. Kim goes back through the archive and speaks to journalists who interviewed her at the time.
