Ben Anderson follows the cocaine highway from the streets of Venezuela, to drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean, to the ports of West Africa, and finally to desert territories controlled by Islamic extremists. 'Outsourcing Embryos' - VICE looks at the boom in one of the world's newest billion-dollar industries: gestational surrogacy.
