What is surrogate Mothers?
“Surrogacy is an arrangement in
which a woman carries and delivers a child for another couple or person. This woman,
the surrogate mother, may be the child's genetic mother
(called traditional surrogacy), or she may be genetically unrelated to the
child (called gestational surrogacy).”
Surrogate Mothers in India – Costs, Laws, Medical Facilities &
Culture
Surrogate mothers in India cost considerably lower (about, a fourth of
what they would cost in the United States). The cost of surrogacy in the United
States is approximately $50,000 to $100,000.
Surrogacy in India has fewer
legal hassles and a Government organization – Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has set national guidelines to
regulate it. Unlike many countries where surrogacy is banned or has many
restrictions, India’s laws allow the surrogate mother to sign away her rights
to the baby as soon as the baby is delivered.
Surrogacy is a God-sent
option for women having trouble conceiving. The procedure uses IVF technology,
except for the fact that the embryo is planted in the uterus of a surrogate mother,
who can successfully carry the pregnancy to term.
Approximate Surrogacy Cycle Cost at
a reputed hospital in India is about US $ 22 to 25k. It includes
·
Doctor Charges
·
Surrogate Work up
·
Antenatal Care
·
Delivery Charges
·
Surrogate compensation
· Drugs and Consumables.
There are
two kinds of surrogate mothers
1)Traditional surrogates
Artificial insemination first made
surrogacy possible. A traditional surrogate is a woman who is artificially
inseminated with the father's sperm. She then carries the baby and delivers it
for the parents to raise. A traditional surrogate is the baby's biological
mother. That's because it was her egg that was fertilized by the father's
sperm. Donor sperm can also be used for a traditional surrogacy.
2)Gestational surrogates-
In
vitro fertilization (IVF) now makes it possible to harvest eggs from the
mother, fertilize them with sperm from the father, and place the embryo into
the uterus of a gestational surrogate. The surrogate then carries the baby
until birth. A gestational surrogate has no genetic ties to the child. That's
because it wasn't her egg that was used. A gestational surrogate is called the
"birth mother." The biological mother, though, is still the woman
whose egg was fertilized.
In the U.S., gestational surrogacy is less complex legally. That's because
both intended parents have genetic ties to the baby. As a result, gestational
surrogacy has become more common than a traditional surrogate. About 450 babies
are born each year using gestational surrogacy in India.
