Abstract

With the expansion of surrogacy in India, increasingly more debates about its value and disadvantages have appeared. The paper reviews current literature about its effects on surrogate mothers in India. On the one hand, although some researchers hold the view that the money gained from surrogacy can help surrogate mothers improve their position in the family by changing their economic status, the reality is that surrogacy makes almost no difference to their economic status. On the other hand, surrogacy damages the surrogate mother’s physical and mental health. Surrogacy violates the surrogate mothers’ human rights and damages their health conditions due to medicines and forced caesareans. They also suffer psychological harm because surrogacy requires strict emotional control and creates false hope for surrogate mothers. By reviewing previous studies and research, the paper provides general ideas about the different effects of surrogacy and points out the knowledge gap within.
