Surrogacy in India

Surrogacy simply means, renting a womb for having a baby. It is advisable to those women who had repeated miscarriages, female infertility, uterus removed for some clinical process or to those who either has no or a malformed uterus. India is emerging as the surrogate hub and the main reason is the cost factor. It is estimated to be 5 times cheaper than in the west. The clinics in India are equipped with specialized doctors who are dedicated and skilled with global experience, availability of surrogates and all other amenities to make the entire procedure comfortable. The only hindrance observed with the Indian culture the degree of acceptance. Surrogacy is considered a taboo amongst those who have little or no knowledge about it. As long as there is a mutual agreement and laws defined around the process, there can be no issues whatsoever. Couples also develop a fear that a surrogate mother later may not want to handover the child to you, but the truth is that a surrogate mother can have a child of her own; she doesn’t want yours. It is time that ...
