Surrogacy, con’t

March 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Rubin Mondal, a counselor and former surrogate mother in Anand, India, sat last spring with Razia Vohra, a surrogate.

The NYT has caught on to the issue of surrogacy in India, a bit late I must say!

Yonatan Gher and his partner, who are Israeli, plan eventually to tell their child about being made in India, in the womb of a stranger, with the egg of a Mumbai housewife they picked from an Internet lineup.

The embryo was formed in January in an Indian fertility clinic about 2,500 miles from the couple’s home in Tel Aviv, produced by doctors who have begun specializing in surrogacy services for couples from around the world.

Women like these at a clinic in Anand can earn much more as surrogate mothers than at normal jobs.

I’ve already written about this extensively, see my opinion here.

    regulations planned for surrogate motherhood

    The government is well aware of the legal grey area surrounding surrogacy, and Renuka Chowdhury promises legislation to address the issue by next year.
