Not everyone’s eligible:
A childless couple is only allowed to hire a surrogate if the woman:
— has no uterus
— has had many miscarriages
— has failed many IVF attempts
— has genital tuberculosis or fibroids
— has a cardiac problem
— has had a liver or kidney transplant

Who can be a surrogate:
According to the Indian Council of Medical Research:
— The surrogate should not be more than 45 years old
— Should test negative for HIV and Hepatitis B and C
— No one can be a surrogate for more than three times
— All clinics need to ensure that the women are fit to carry the pregnancy

Two types of surrogacy
1. Gestational surrogacy:
- Sperms from dad
- Eggs from mum or donor other than surrogate

2. Traditional surrogacy:
- Eggs are from the surrogate mother
- Surrogate’s egg is then artificially inseminated with sperms from intended parent or donor
