What is Surrogacy?

Surrogacy is defined as the process where a female called the surrogate carries the child on behalf of another couple/individual known as the intended parents. The surrogate gets pregnant through IVF, which uses the eggs of the intended mother, and the sperm of the intended father or gametes are taken from the donor keeping the genetic link between the intended parents and the baby intact.

What are the types of Surrogacies?

Surrogacy in India is sought by couples facing infertility and according to their preference, the type of surrogacy is chosen.

1. Based on Genetic Link

• Gestational Surrogacy: The eggs are utilized from the intended mother or a suitable donor, and the sperm is taken from the intended father or, in some cases, from a sperm donor. Either of the two gametes is taken from the donor to keep the genetic link intact with at least one of the parents.
• Traditional Surrogacy: Traditional Surrogacy is a type of Surrogacy where the eggs are derived from the surrogate herself, and the sperm is obtained from the intended father or a sperm donor. Due to ethical reasons, this type of surrogacy is less commonly practiced in India.

2. Based on Surrogate Mother’s Compensation

• Altruistic Surrogacy: A surrogate is not compensated financially, except for medical, legal, and related expenses. Usually, this type of surrogacy involves a surrogate who is someone close to the intended parents.
• Commercial Surrogacy: Involves financial compensation that needs to be provided to the surrogate. According to the legal surrogacy laws, Commercial surrogacy is prohibited in India.
