There is regulation based medical tourism. For example, the Czech Republic is the only country in the "westernish" world which allows a special kind of IVF in which the nucleus is taken out of a near menopausal woman's egg, and placed into the mitochondrial fluid of a young woman's egg, and then fertilized using sperm from the husband, making a baby with genes from 3 people. Women from more western countries pay good money for this treatment.
Whether it is a good thing that it is legal here is questionable. Doctors seem very skeptical of this 3 genetic parent baby approach, and I don't know if it is because it is inherently risky, or if they are just conservative regarding the ethicalness.
