India seeks to regulate its booming Rent-A-Womb industry

Gujarat/ New Delhi/ Mumbai, Oct 01 (ANI): India, one of only a few countries to allow commercial surrogacy, is now contemplating a law that would make surrogacy for foreigners, as well as gay couples, much more difficult amid mounting concerns over the exploitation of women whose wombs are rented and to protect the rights of the surrogate child. The government’s move to introduce a law - the Assisted Reproductive Technologies Bill (ART), 2010 - to ensure the protection of surrogates, the children, as well as the commissioning parents, is long over due. For some surrogate mothers renting their womb provides sufficient money to support their family and even build a house or buy a car. Oct 1, 2013
