The bill states that know friend or known person or relative can be a gamete donor making it costlier for Indian opting for ART. At the same time helping the single men /woman/gay/lesbians from other counties to buy the gametes.

Complete secrecy is maintained in the process this is not acceptable for Indian mindset After all we are people of the country where Mahatma Gandhi was born. A man known for truth and transparency.

By preventing known donor to donate the gametes what the bill is achieving I don’t know at least it is not making a caste less society as presumed by the committee. It is creating only a breed of children whose parentage is unknown.

This provision only brings a big secret, which is very hard to keep and at the same time to accept, in to the life of Parents and Children born Out of donations that too at a huge cost . So it is better if the bill allows for known donors .

Preventing the ART clinics from hiring surrogates is a goo idea in preventing unethical practices.
Establishing ART banks helps only the foreign gay/unconcerned couple. India is society divided on the basis of caste so people tend to choose their surrogates on the basis of caste is not very much true choosing will be there on the basis of caste/color/looks etc.It is just because, unlike the west most Indians are not unconcerned with the well being of the mother of their child . They like to care for her, even long after the job is completed. In case they have to bring her to their home ,or visit her if she of the same caste, it helps hide the real fact from peeping eyes .
So it is better to Ask the commissioning couple to bring their own surrogates through paper advertisements .
ART banks help only in commoditizing the woman.
Helps only the Foreigners at the expense of Indians

Draft wont say anything about the unmarried women working as surrogates and the child living status of the surrogate mother . It should be made mandatory for woman to have at least one surviving child of her own to act as a surrogate .

Lastly the bill is aiming at commoditizing human life may be that of the child /surrogate etc. Aiming and facilitating the ends of foreign nationals and a bunch full of ART cleanics all the while giving wrong signals to the society.

My wife and are both U.S. citizens. We live in the U.S. My wife has a kidney disease, so her doctor said it was not safe for her to have a baby. She is still fertile. We are exploring the option of coming to India to have our child through an Indian surrogate. We would use my sperm and my wife’s eggs, so our baby is 100% genetically ours. The U.S. Embassy in India requires a DNA testing to prove the baby is ours before they will issue a U.S. Passport. We also have to show all documents and contract agreemsnts. What are the Indian laws regarding this process? Will only my wife’s name and my name appear on the birth certificate?

Thank you for you the comment. I only wish that things are as simple as you consider them to be. Issues of Nationality has a lot of weight in surrogacy cases due to differential citizenship and nationality laws in every state is different. The Report of the law commission or the draft law on surrogacy do not have any value as those are not laws which have been passed by the parliament and which have obtained the assent of the President. These documents are not enforceable.
