Surrogacy –A new norm of Life.
“However motherhood comes to you, it’s a miracle.”
Research has shown that motherhood is an instinct driven physiological phenomena. This instinct resides in every living being. Ancient Indian philosophy states that the purpose of life on earth is to propagate and pass down one’s genes to the next generation.
Currently parenthood later in life is no longer unusual — it is a growing reality for millions of people worldwide due to carrier preferences. Not getting married until you’re thirty seems to be the new norm in today’s society. However, women’s fertility rates begin to decline at the age of 30, begin to fall off rapidly around the age of 35 and sharply after 40 combined with several comorbidities.
Career paths, second marriages, health journeys, and changing social norms have all contributed to a surge in intended parents exploring surrogacy in their 40s, 50s, and even 60s.In advanced age dream of bearing a child may not be realised due to infertility, dangers or undesirable risks of pregnancy , or when pregnancy is medical impossibility. Here using the services of surrogacy is a most viable option.
Surrogacy is an arrangement whereby a woman gets pregnant and gives birth on behalf of another person or couple who will become the child’s legal parents after birth. Becoming a surrogate is an extraordinary act of generosity. However, surrogacy is highly controversial, with many countries legally regulating or banning its practice.
While gestational surrogacy is a rather recent development, surrogacy is, in fact, a very old concept dating back to ancient times. Prior to the 1970s, the only surrogacy option available was if a husband of an infertile woman consorted with other women for the sake of having a baby for the couple to raise.After the development of artificial insemination, a couple could pursue surrogacy without the husband engaging in intercourse, as the husband’s sperm could be inserted into a surrogate woman via a catheter. Under this arrangement, the child is genetically related to the commissioning man and the surrogate woman. Almost immediately after the debut of surrogacy through artificial insemination, several sensational court battles erupted for the custody of child. This method is less common today because of legal and emotional complexities.
In vitro fertilization, revolutionized the surrogacy industry as a gestational surrogate could be biologically unrelated to the child, potentially allowing the roles of the parties involved in a surrogacy arrangement to be clearer and easier to delineate.Due to the perceived legal and genetic benefits of IVF, gestational surrogacy has become increasingly more common.
