INFERTILITY

I don't think there is anything wrong in what
the doctor is doing. There is nothing immoral
in it.Only a childless couple can understand
the yoeman service the doctor is doing.

Yes, it totally agree with you. Only a poor person will know how difficult it is to lead their life without enough money, and only an infertile couple will know how difficult it is to lead their life without a child for this "god given single life". I feel Dr. Nayna is a god by helping both infertile and poor. The people who doesn't want to encourage this noble idea please stay quiet but please dont discourage this, otherwise many infertile women will suicide themselves for not able to become mothers.

I personally, would choose to adopt a kid in the event of my not being able to bear a child. But that%u2019s just me.
But, I have seen a lot of people who want to have their own flesh and blood in their children.
In the Indian context, women who are infertile are not respected, they might feel insecure and choose to end the relationship.
Men who are impotent, might feel inferior and insecure and this could completely ruin a relationship.
Even if the couple feel that adoption is a solution, there might be relatives who want their own lineage to be established.
Even though all that I%u2019ve said point to a possible support to surrogate mother-hood; it%u2019s going to be very long before it becomes even remotely acceptable in India.
As usual, there will be a broad-minded few who will go ahead, but support for this will be scant.
I personally feel it is ok to get someone else to carry your child, since you basically can%u2019t.
What discomforts me in this is the involvement of money. If a relative is ready to bear one%u2019s child, it%u2019s ok.
But, once people start speaking money, that too in a country like India where there is so much poverty, this has the potential to cause very foreseeable harm for poor women who might come forward to do this.
Right now the picture painted here is all rosy,but once a lot of people start doing this, it%u2019s going to be one more thing that feminist movements have to tackle so as to prevent helpless, illiterate, poor women from
