Bill to ban commercial surrogacy introduced in Lok Sabha
Advertisement
New Delhi : In a move to ban commercial surrogacy, a bill was introduced in the Lok Sabha which also seeks to protect women from exploitation and ensure the rights of the child born through surrogacy.
The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2016 was introduced by Health Minister J P Nadda amid noisy opposition protest over the government's demonetisation move.
Once approved by Parliament, there will be a complete ban on commercial surrogacy, but altruistic surrogacy will be permitted for needy infertile couples under strict regulations.
