Anitha K N, Dr. B. S. Reddy

Abstract :

It takes someone really ave to be a mother, someone strong to raise a child and someone special to love someone more than herself......Lilly The above lines suits best to the biological mothers. But unfortunately, if she is unable to conceive for some medical reason then, she has to go for other options to enjoy her motherhood. One of the options which is growing day by day is surrogacy. Like all achievements in the sciences, the technologies proposed for the application of these achievements can be either good or bad, depending upon the motives, the methods adopted, and the consequences. Likewise, this technology too can be used either to promote the good of the human person/s and of society, or for its debasement and ruin. To regularise Surrogacy in India, THE ASSISTED REPRODUCTIVE TECHNOLOGIES REGULATION BILL, 2010 is in existence which is yet to get nod for the implementation as legislation. Like other technology, this bill also has its own pros and cons violating human rights. This proposed paper deals with the meaning of surrogacy, whether it is a boon or a bane to childless couple? The criteria which have to be taken into consideration, by both the surrogate mother and the couple before opting for surrogacy? The law which speaks about surrogacy and surrogacy from the view point of human rights.
