Telangana govt mulls bringing law on surrogacy
Advertisement
Hyderabad: The Telangana government would try to bring in a law on surrogacy, state health minister C Laxma Reddy said.
The state government would take suggestions from the surrogacy bill introduced in Lok Sabha in 2016, Reddy said in the Telangana Legislative Assembly during the Question Hour.
Congress members G Chinna Reddy, J Geeta Reddy and Padmavati Reddy expressed concern over the infertility centres allegedly running illegally in Hyderabad.
Many poor women are exploited in the process, they said.
"Will the minister take up seriously that this government should be a pioneer in this, lead the way for the rest of the country and bring in an Act, Act for surrogacy," Geeta Reddy said.
The health minister then said that the state government has appointed a committee headed by a retired judge to make suggestions and recommendations on the matter.
