1. SURROGACY BY: KASHMIRA SAHANI

2. Meaning The word ‘surrogate’ has its origin in Latin term “ Surrogatus ” which means a substitute, that is, a person appointed to act in the place of another. According to the Black’s Law Dictionary, Surrogacy means the process of carrying and delivering a child for another person . Surrogacy is a method of reproduction whereby a woman( surrogate) agrees to carry a pregnancy and give birth as a substitute for the contracted parties

3. THE SURROGACY (REGULATION) BILL, 2016 Section 2( zb ) “surrogacy" means a practice whereby one woman bears and gives birth to a child for an intending couple with the intention of handing over such child to the intending couple after the birth; Section 2( ze ) “surrogate mother" means a woman bearing a child who is genetically related to the intending couple, through surrogacy from the implantation of embryo in her womb and fulfils the conditions as provided in sub-clause (b) of clause (iii) of section 4

4. Section2(b) “altruistic surrogacy" means the surrogacy in which no charges, expenses, fees, remuneration or monetary incentive of whatever nature, except the medical expenses incurred on surrogate mother and the insurance coverage for the surrogate mother, are given to the surrogate mother or her dependents or her representative; Section2(f) “commercial surrogacy" means commercialization of surrogacy services or procedures or its component services or component procedures including selling or buying of human embryo or trading in the sale or purchase of human embryo or gametes or selling or buying or trading the services of surrogate motherhood by way of giving payment, reward, benefit, fees, remuneration or monetary incentive in cash or kind, to the surrogate mother or her dependents or her representative, except the medical expenses incurred on the surrogate mother and the insurance coverage for the surrogate mother

5. Types on the basis of methods Traditional or Partial Surrogacy Gestational Surrogacy or Total Surrogacy TYPES ON THE BASIS OF MONEY Commercial surrogacy Emotional surrogacy

6. Known as Partial surrogacy In the traditional case, the surrogate mother will be artificially inseminated with the sperm of the intended father or the sperm from a donor when the sperm count is low. Here the mother would be genetically related with the baby because in either case the surrogate’s own egg will be used. Due to this reason the two parties’ i.e. infertile couple and surrogate mother enter into a contract where surrogate mother is artificially inseminated with the sperm of male partner of that couple. Known as total surrogacy In order for a pregnancy to take place, a sperm, egg, and a uterus are required. In case of gestational surrogacy, the eggs are extracted from the intended mother or egg donor and mixed with sperm from the intended father or sperm donor in vitro. In case of total surrogacy an embryo created by the process of In-Vitro fertilitsation is implanted into the surrogate’s uterus. One thing is worthy to mention in context of gestational surrogacy is that here the mother is not genetically related to the child. The gestational surrogacy comes under the ambit of assisted reproductive technologies. Gestational surrogacy can be described as “Womb leasing Process”. The reasons to call it so is that the surrogate mother merely allows her womb to be used for carrying further the reproductive process. TRADITIONAL SURROGACY GESTATIONAL SURROGACY

7. In commercial surrogacy arrangements the surrogate mother enters into an agreement with the commissioning parents or single parent to bear the burden of pregnancy. In return of her agreeing to carry the term of the pregnancy, she is paid by the commissioning parents for that. The usual fee is around $ 25,000 to $ 30,000 in India which is around 1/3 rd of that in developed countries like the USA. It is that form of surrogacy in which the surrogate mother does not receive any financial reward for the pregnancy or for the pain to be undertaken by her or for the handing over of the child to the commissioning parents. It is also known as Altruistic Surrogacy . COMMERCIAL EMOTIONAL
