Wombs For Sale

Surrogacy provides a rent-o -womb service; but too much of anything is bad. Commercial surrogacy has mushroomed manifolds and is a cause of worry because of its ramifications on the child and the surrogate mother. The country definitely requires a strict surrogacy law to be passed soon, but are we ready for the archaic law which the government has proposed?

I think a child may be the only thing that could give me true happiness– Nicki Minaj.

Meenu and Vishal have been married for around 12 years now. But both of them live a mechanised life. They both work in corporate sectors and have everything going for them on a professional front but their personal lives is in doldrums. They are living with a big void in their life. The couple is childless even after having tried all the ways to conceive a child. Meenu has exhausted all the options of conceiving a child, she has been to all the gynaecologists that she knows of and has tried every medical treatment possible but she has not been able to conceive naturally. She has also exhausted all the options offered in astrology and done all the rituals she was asked to do by the temple priests, dargah peers and elders of the family but to no avail. Every month she waits with bated breath to feel the signs of pregnancy but all her hopes and dreams of holding her child in her hands gets shattered the moment she spots her monthly specks of blood. But now Meenu has made up her mind to opt for surrogacy and she has talked to her gynaecologist about it. The hunt for a healthy and reliable surrogate mother is on and the process of surrogacy will be initiated soon. The couple is looking forward to a life brimming with the giggles and laughter of their biological child, something which would infuse a new lease of life to their otherwise empty hearts and home.
