Abstract

Surrogacy refers to the process through which a woman intentionally becomes pregnant with a baby that she does not intend to keep. Rather, she is carrying the baby for its intended parents, usually because they are unable to do so because of psychosocial, physical or physiological reasons. Couples from all over the world come to India, as India has become a hub for surrogacy. The draft of assisted reproductive bill 2010 is ready to be put in parliament and is long awaited. Ironically this also does not define many things which are important and worth explaining and which were already lacking in the ART bill 2008.
