"Labour of Love" tells the story of Pat, who was to bear children for her daughter following the latter's near death and medical complications after the birth of her first son. Pat became the first known case of a woman acting as a "host" womb for babies who were the full genetic children of the original couple. Sue Reid describes a medical breakthrough on the frontiers of modern science, but also relates a story of family solidarity, self-sacrifice and the power of human love. Sue Reid is Assistant Editor of "The Mail on Sunday" and co-producer of the television film "Labour of Love".
