Surrogacy and human reproductive biology

Eustace J. de Souza
Abstract:
Recently, the headline 'Rent a womb' highlighted the plea of a woman from Chandigarh to legitimise her surrogacy for a woman who could not conceive. The couple was so anxious to have a child that they were ready to adopt one. Nirmala Devi, who worked for them as a maid, decided to offer her womb on hire. She desperately needed money for the treatment of her paralytic husband and to secure the future of her own child.
