Abstract
The feeling of becoming a parent is the dream of every couple, but for
some couples it remains a dream due to infertility. With the advancement of
technology and medical science, the introduction of in-vitro
fertilization made it possible for couples to feel the breath of their own
blood. Surrogacy process is a boon for India. Surrogacy has invited a large
number of childless couples from all over the world to India, where one can
find many women who are ready to be a surrogate for another’s child. Today
India is called the hub of surrogacy. Even before the introduction of IVF,
traditional surrogacy was in vogue. Surrogacy was legalized in India for the
first time in 2002. But, still, there is no law to regulate surrogacy in India.
Currently, the Lok Sabha has passed surrogacy. The Amendment Bill, 2019 and it
is tabled in the Rajya Sabha for approval. The Bill made commercial surrogacy
illegal and focused only on altruistic surrogacy (i.e. unpaid surrogacy). In
addition, India has restrictions on foreign infertile couples to have a child
through the surrogacy process. Surrogacy is more likely to have ethical and
legal implications, which are discussed in the article. Furthermore, at the
end, I have concluded the article with my opinion and some modifications.
