Abstract

Nature has gifted Women the beautiful capacity to procreate a life and every woman is blessed to feel the experience of motherhood. Unfortunately, some women are exceptional as they cannot give birth to their own off-spring, might be because of certain physiological conditions. Their desire for motherhood make them search for any substitution, and surrogacy  can be suited as the most feasible alternative. 

The method of surrogacy has given expectation to many infertile couples, who are not blessed with a child of their own. Due to advanced medical facilities, such couples seek substitutive methods like Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART), In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and, Intra-Uterine Injections (IUI), in the hope of having a child of their own.

The very word ’surrogate’ means ‘substitute’. Thus it means that a surrogate mother could be called as the genetic-biological mother’s substitute. In common language, a surrogate mother is the lady who is hired to bear a child in her womb, which she hands over to her employer at birth of that child.
