Abstract

Surrogacy is a kind of assisted reproductive technology in which a woman bears a child for another partner. Surrogacy services are required by a large number of couples throughout the globe for a variety of reasons. Although this arrangement seems to be advantageous to all parties involved, it is fraught with social, ethical, moral, and legal problems. Because of these complications, this technique has become unpopular in many areas of the globe. Surrogacy in India has had its own path, from the country's popularity as a surrogacy destination in 2002 to the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2016, which would limit many people's access to surrogacy. Surrogacy is an essential medical treatment for all couples who would otherwise be unable to have children. Surrogacy would be conducted in harmony if sensitive problems surrounding surrogacy were adequately handled via correctly worded legislation that protected the rights of surrogate mothers, intended parents, and surrogate children.
