--Surrogacy Motherhood: Ethical or Commercial?
18 JULY 2013 - The unregulated reproductive tourism industry of 'procreating' through surrogacy is burgeoning in India while there is still no legal provision to safeguard the interests of the surrogate mother, the child or the commissioning parents according to a report released here today. The Study -Surrogacy Motherhood: Ethical or Commercial? conducted by Centre for Social Research and supported by the Ministry of Women and Child Development in the years 2011-12, further revealed that though the Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) Regulation Bill, 2010 did bring forth certain important points for the legal framework to be based on, it has left out many crucial issues relating to surrogacy arrangements.
According to the study, in Delhi & Mumbai, the respondents said that poverty and education of their children was the reason to opt for becoming a surrogate mother. 73.77% of surrogate mothers in Delhi and Mumbai said that the primary source of information for the surrogate mothers was the agents who had approached them for surrogacy.
Surrogate motherhood raises difficult ethical, social and economic issues, which remain unanswered. All these need to be analysed thoroughly before designing any policy relating to surrogacy and making legal provisions. The lack of research on surrogacy poses a problem for Government agencies to initiate legal provisions and take substantive action against those found guilty. Keeping this in mind the Centre for Social Research (CSR) conducted a pilot study on the issue of surrogacy in the areas of Anand, Surat and Jamnagar in Gujarat in the year 2010. After noticing a shifting trend in surrogacy from smaller cities to big metros such as Delhi and Mumbai, which are more easily accessible and provide better health care facilities and anonymity, CSR's second study focused on these two metros of India which are slowly and steadily rising as surrogacy centers of the world.
