Abstract

This study is concerned with the issues of surrogacy and women's rights. It also covers a variety of surrogacy-related topics. Legal issues, psychological issues, religious issues, ethical issues, general issues, and health issues were also discussed in this study. This study discusses the many types of surrogacy. Though, this study also focuses on the rights of surrogate mothers and children, as well as government initiatives aimed at improving surrogacy and surrogate mother and child rights in India. In this study, I conceptualize incidents related to surrogacy and legal issues in the global context, but I also gestate the landscape of surrogacy in India, as it is a new concept for India and not acceptable in various portfolios, so I also focused on the social and economic background for the deepening of this concept at the grassroots level. While constructing this research, I also critically assess the Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART) Bill, in which I critically analyses both its positive and bad features for the research's impact on commissioning parents and their surrogacy rights. In conclusion, procreating a kid in a surrogate woman's womb is a grateful gift to those women who are unable to conceive.
