Progressive Reproductive Technique for Alleviating Infertility: An advancement in the Medical Science

Law

Desire to procreate is fundamental in Human beings. But not everyone is fortunate to have their own baby. According to the estimates of the WHO, 13-19 million couples in India are infertile. And the figure is increasing at an alarming rate because of the bad routine of the youngsters. The magnitude of the infertility problem has enormous social implications. Besides the fact that every couple has the right to have a child, in India infertility widely carries with it a social stigma. In the Indian social context specially, children are also a kind of old age insurance. Therefore, every childless couple looks for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), a group of technologies that assist in conception or in the carrying of pregnancy to term. Within this, Surrogacy, particularly Commercial Surrogacy, the practice of gestating a child for another couple or for an individual through the use of ARTs and in return for remuneration, has drawn much attention; as it gives the infertile couples hope to have their own biological child. My Paper focuses on the types of Surrogacy and the various procedures used in Surrogacy.
