India has had time to think about these issues, as commercial surrogacy has been
around for a couple of decades now. The first surrogate baby in India was born in 1994.
The industry has since evolved, and today India offers some of the best fertility
packages in the world. Intending parents with a valid fertility visa can come to India
and get their IVF procedures done, hire healthy surrogates, return home, and monitor

Today the minimal regulation on the fertility industry in India is obviously woefully
inadequate. But any law which is put in place has to take into consideration the needs
and aspirations of the various people involved in this business. At the bottom of the
pecking order are the surrogates, who are in it because it is a means of livelihood. From
their perspective, there is nothing morally or ethically wrong because the babies are
conceived through injection (embryo implant) and not through sexual intercourse.
They do sometimes get attached to the babies in their womb, but to them the money is
more important and they are quick to move on after the birth of the child.
The problem lies with the bogus embryologists and doctors, the agents and touts who
lure and cheat surrogates, as well as intending parents. They are the exploiters.
Banning commercial surrogacy in India at this advanced stage will help no one. It will
only create chaos and push the business underground. Banning is easy. Framing a
proper law needs careful thought, good technical inputs and above all, political will.
