Altruistic surrogacy in India has emerged as a significant aspect of reproductive technology, embodying both hope and controversy. Unlike commercial surrogacy, where financial gain is the primary motivation, altruistic surrogacy involves a woman willingly carrying a child for intended parents without monetary compensation, often driven by a desire to help others fulfill their dreams of parenthood. India, once a global hub for commercial surrogacy, banned the practice in 2018 but continues to permit altruistic surrogacy under strict regulations. This altruistic model raises complex ethical, legal, and social questions while offering a pathway to parenthood for couples facing infertility challenges. Understanding the dynamics and implications of altruistic surrogacy in the Indian context requires careful examination of its cultural, economic, and legal dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Surrogacy (Regulation) act defines surrogacy as a practise where a woman gives birth to a child for an intending couple to hand over the child after the birth to the intending couple.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altruistic Surrogacy involves no monetary compensation to the surrogate mother other than the medical expenses and insurance coverage during the pregnancy.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
