In 2015, a study of Surrogacy and Other Reproductive Technologies was conducted among women who served as surrogate mothers in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. There are some social taboos are associated with the concept of surrogacy, and it is not a mainstream procedure in India. To know the ground reality, thirty-three surrogates were interviewed to explore their concerns. The primary objective of this book is to explore the causes and consequences of being a surrogate, the motivation and negotiation factors, and the social, economic, and gender issues encountered during and after procreation. This book further explored the perception of various stakeholders on new draft bill was introduced to ban commercial surrogacy in order to safeguard the women from exploitation. This book argues that if the government regularizes and legalizes commercial surrogacy, it may create a win-win situation for both sides – surrogates and the commissioning couples – to avoid exploitation.
