Abstract

Revolution of Medical Sciences over last century has not only raised the standard of health and living, but also hope for certain diseases/disabilities which were earlier considered to be untreatable. Infertility was one of such condition, but advancement of Assisted Reproductive Technology has given hope of parenthood to infertile couples. Surrogacy has come up as an alternative option for the infertile couples with incurable etiology. Surrogacy is of two typesAltruistic and Commercial; recently commercial surrogacy has gained popularity not only among intended couples but also among singles and professionals who intend to have children without bearing complications of conception and gestation. Developing countries have emerged as an alternative for commercial surrogacy due to low financial inputs as well as either no guidelines or liberal regulatory guidelines for surrogacy. We discuss a case of commercial surrogacy which turned unsuccessful due to non compliance of regulatory laws.

Keywords: Surrogacy; Artificial reproductive Techniques; Surrogacy regulation law; Altruistic; Commercial.
