​Couple went to Thailand to find a surrogate mother to give birth to a baby. The doctor was involved in issuing false medical certificates to cover up the lawsuit against 4 people.

A woman surnamed Lian from New Taipei City suffered from adenomyosis and had her uterus removed and was unable to conceive. In order to have a child smoothly, she and her husband surnamed Zheng found a surrogacy agency through the Internet and went to Thailand for artificial reproduction to successfully get pregnant. In order to cover up the illegal surrogacy and smoothly go through the return and household registration procedures, the couple revealed Through an intermediary, Xu Weibo approached Taichung City obstetrician and gynecologist Xie Yaoyuan, who provided other people's urine to the couple to fake the pregnancy.

According to the prosecutor's investigation, in September 2023, in order to realize their dream of having a child, Lian and Zheng contacted the overseas surrogacy agency "UT Lishe" through the Internet, and got in touch with unknown people with the nicknames "Dado and Xiaoyu" to sign a surrogate mother management and consulting service agreement.

In April 2024, Zheng Nan went to Thailand alone to provide sperm, which was combined with the egg of an unknown surrogate mother to form an embryo, which was then implanted into the surrogate mother. The couple paid another 60,000 yuan to Xu Nan, the head of Kangxin Instrument Company, which is engaged in the medical equipment business, and obtained a jar of other people's urine and handed it to Xie Nan's clinic to create the illusion of pregnancy.

The prosecutor found that Xie Nan was accused of knowing that the woman had already had her uterus removed and could not be pregnant, and still cooperated in issuing a false diagnosis certificate stating "early pregnancy with bleeding" to cover it up.

After the surrogate mother successfully gave birth to a baby boy in Thailand on October 10 last year, the couple applied for a passport and entry permit from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office of my country in Thailand with the help of a false birth certificate issued by a Thai hospital stating that the baby was the delivery person and a false diagnosis certificate issued by Xie Nan. After returning to the country in November of the same year, he applied for a settlement permit from the Immigration Department.

The case was transferred to the Immigration Department for investigation. The couple surnamed Lien surrendered and committed the crime. Xu and Xie denied it. Xie argued that the test at that time indeed showed that she was pregnant. The prosecutors charged the couple with the crime of using a civil servant to publish false documents and the crime of false business publication; Xu Nan was charged with committing the crime of intermediary introduction of germ cells for profit under the Artificial Reproduction Act and the crime of false business publication; Xie was charged with the crime of false business publication. The prosecutor also asked the court to consider the circumstances of the couple's surrender and reduce their sentences in accordance with the criminal law.

This year, the Taichung District Prosecutor's Office uncovered a "customized baby" syndicate spanning Taiwan, Malaysia, and Thailand, and prosecuted three defendants under the Artificial Reproduction Act, including Xu Weibo, the defendant in this case.
