July 5, 2024 ⚊ 1 Min read ⚊ Views 27 ⚊ OTHER
Surrogate motherhood can be a positive experience when approached with altruism in mind, rather than commercialization. It takes a lot of thought and consideration to decide to become a surrogate mother. The choice to become a surrogate should not be influenced by financial gain as commercial surrogacy is now prohibited in India under the new surrogacy law. It’s great to see that the process of helping a couple achieve parenthood is driven by a sincere desire to assist them. The new law allows for altruistic surrogacy, which means that women can choose to become surrogate mothers without receiving financial compensation. Surrogate mothers can help promote ethical and transparent surrogacy practises that put everyone’s needs first by adopting a selfless attitude.
