surrogacy Indian

Commercial pregnancy business was legalized in India in 2002. Unlike other Western states, there exist no laws in India, which would regulate this particular sphere of medical services, thus, contributing to its rapid development.

However, despite unrestricted applicability of this method of reproduction, Indian surrogate motherhood has its own disadvantages. Most potential candidates ready to act as surrogate mothers belong to poor sections of population, which gives rise to potential diseases and hidden health problems. This, in turn, brings about the need for thorough medical examination of such women.

According to a newspaperman from Mumbai, some of the clinics offering surrogacy services arrange for a kind of “hostels” for would-be surrogate mothers, where all of them live together.

Social conditions in India are far from being simple. How can it be guaranteed that a woman who carries a child for you has proper and adequate meals? Considering Indian traditions, there are lower risks that a surrogate mother would smoke or consume alcohol. However, such risks still exist. Besides, a woman might be forced to be involved in hard work during her pregnancy, which is quite common for many Indian women.
