though i have no qualms against this procedure and i am grateful to Dr. Patel for lifting so many poor women out of their misery i am afraid this might stifle the already poor adoption rate. though i understand that a couple would like to have a child of their own blood please spare a thought for that poor orphan.. why cant a couple desperate enough to go in for in-vitro fertilisation be a little more broadminded and give a new lease of life to one poor child..

For a lot of people Adoption is not an option. Had that been an option, it would apply to ALL, those who can have their own kids and those who can't. So, asking those who can't have their own kids to open their heart is in my mind falls a little short in trying to promote Adoption. Adoption can be and should be an option for ALL. Also why only poor women should be surrogate mothers? If I am a healthy woman with the ability to bear a child, I can choose to be a surrogate mother, doesn't mean I am homeless, powerless and in dire need for money.

No body should force anybody to adopt a child, it should come from the heart. Particularly when you dont have a child but still there is a hope to get a biological child through surrogacy, whats wrong in trying that route? These surrogate mothers are giving a new lease of life to infertile couple, in turn getting a decent amount. Who will give 2.5 lakhs to a poor family for free ? Forget about adoption and giving a good life to an orphan, why cant you rich people give a new life to poor families by donating money to them. Please dont force on adoption, when you want to force on this issue, then you should also force donations to poor families to uplift their lives.
