Surrogacy is gaining popularity, with Hollywood celebrities like Amber Heard, Nicole Kidman, Elton John, and Bollywood stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Aamir Khan, and Shilpa Shetty resorting to this method to become parents.
What is surrogacy?
Surrogacy is an arrangement where a woman, known as a surrogate mother, agrees to bear and deliver the child of another couple who becomes parents after childbirth. It aids in expanding families through assisted reproduction techniques, specifi cally In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
When should a couple consider surrogacy?
A couple should consider surrogacy when strong medical reasons hinder natural reproduction. These reasons include health conditions that could be life-threatening during a regular pregnancy, potentially leading to marital problems and depriving them of the joy of parenthood. Surrogacy serves as a ray of hope for such couples.
