Previously these couples had no choice but to go for ADOPTION but now they can have their own child.
Surrogacy which till now was considered as a “last hush hush method” for childless couples, is now being accepted more easily especially after it has been brought to the limelight by Bollywood stars “Aamir Khan- Kiran” and “Shahrukh- Gauri”. Now it has a kind of glamour and acceptability in public that it never had before.

Surrogacy programme Uplifts surrogate women’s family status as these women belong to low socio economic status:
- Renumeration leads to independence
- Provides better living condition to the lady and her family
- Helps in Education to their children or building a house.
Now the things are changing!!
At present there are surrogate agencies who make contract with these women and provide humane conditions for living not just for the surrogate but for their whole families. Of course we need more elaborate and stricter laws and self checks to prevent the exploitation of these needy women.
The resulting surge of Surrogacy cases in the country has posed a number of ethical , legal, social and moral dilemmas.
Several legal issues are being sorted out by the ICMR .Many Forums are working closely with the government to ease out these issues and provide greater security & insurance cover to the surrogates.
SUCCESS RATE IN SURROGACY
Donor eggs & surrogacy = 70% plus
Surrogacy with fresh Egg Cycle = 50-60%
Frozen Egg cycle & surrogacy = 40%
CHALLENGES STILL REMAINING
When science and technology open new door for society – it also opens a pandrora box of “real life stories” which shows evils that menace humanity. Eg.
1. Japanese surrogate Baby “Manjhi”
2. Tale of German Twins
Even as India is fast emerging as a major destination for surrogate pregnancies, such birth are still unregulated in few areas in the countries. According to governing laws, parents have to adopt their surrogate child and adoption laws in some countries make it difficult for single father to adopt girl child.
CONCLUSION
SURROGACY IS HERE TO STAY IN INDIA
Surrogacy in India is gaining more acceptability in our society and is no longer considered a taboo by infertile couples.
It is a source of happiness for both the infertile couple and the surrogate mother.
We need the laws to be made more stringent so that this profession of surrogacy no longer is considered or viewed as an act of exploitation.
