Surrogacy on rise in Uttar Pradesh | Sheela, six months pregnant, is like any other expecting mother, except that the child in her womb does not
belong to her. When she gives birth three months later, the baby will be handed
over to the biological parents. Like Sheela, there are many women in Gorakhpur
in Uttar Pradesh, who are renting their wombs to childless couples keen on starting
their families. These women are more than happy to help couples, who are not blessed
with a baby and are desperate to have one. "If I can help someone and give a baby
to a childless couple then I am more than happy to do that," said Sumitra, a surrogate
mother. More and more childless couples in Gorakhpur are seeking the help of surrogate
mothers to expand their brood. "We did whatever the doctors asked us and now we
have a year-old girl child and we are very happy," said Inderabala, a woman who
had her baby through surrogate mother. Doctors said that since the number of Tuberculosis
patients is high in Purvanchal region, which is one of the reasons of infertility,
the demand for surrogacy is on rise. "The demand for surrogacy is on rise and
there are many patients waiting for surrogate mother but since many people out
here are ignorant about surrogacy we try other ways to give a baby to a childless
couple. But we also tell the patients that if they can get a surrogate mother
then it will be a blessing for them. Moreover in Purvanchal, there are more cases
of Tuberculosis, which is one of the causes of infertility and that's the reason
why surrogacy is in demand,' said Surita Karim, a gynaecologist The Indian Law
Commission has recently recommended to the central government to enact legislation
to regulate the Assisted Reproductive technology (ART) clinics, as well as the
rights and obligations of parties to a surrogacy.
