“…The qualitative reports received QualSyst scores ranging between 0.35 and 0.9, with a mean of 0.78. Ten studies did not report whether they received ethics approval (Pande, 2011;Mukherjee and Sekher, 2015;Munjal-Shankar, 2015;Pande, 2015;Ziff, 2017;Siegl, 2018;Africawala and Kapadia, 2019;Gupta and Prasad, 2019;Teman, 2019;Ziff, 2019;Speier, 2020).…”

“…Some husbands of surrogates were initially apprehensive about their wife's decision (Mukherjee and Sekher, 2015;Munjal-Shankar, 2015;Africawala and Kapadia, 2019;Ziff, 2019;Rozee et al, 2020). Surrogates were able to convince their husbands by explaining that no extra-marital relationships would occur (Munjal-Shankar, 2015; Africawala and Kapadia, 2019;Rozee et al, 2020); that they would not be genetically related to the child they would carry (Ziff, 2019); and that they would receive financial reward (Ziff, 2019). Some husbands of surrogates viewed the financial reward their wife would receive as a threat to their authority within the family (Africawala and Kapadia, 2019).…”

“…few decades tended to target non-Western commercial surrogates like Indian women, who are often thought of as 'victims of poverty', navigating their financial deprivation through paid surrogacy, though many question this conceptualisation. 9 Others go as far as to say that commercial surrogacy is a form of baby-selling. 10 Altruistic surrogacy, on the other hand, carries with it mostly positive connotations, or at least is often treated as less ethically problematic relative to commercial surrogacy.…”

Surrogacy: beyond the commercial/altruistic distinction

In this article, I critique the commonly accepted distinction between commercial and altruistic surrogacy arrangements. The moral legitimacy of surrogacy, I claim, does not hinge on whether it is paid (‘commercial’) or unpaid (‘altruistic’); rather, it is best determined by appraisal of virtue-abiding conditions constitutive of the surrogacy arrangement. I begin my article by problematising the prevailing commercial/altruistic distinction; next, I demonstrate that an assessment of the virtue-abiding or non-virtue-abiding features of a surrogacy is crucial to navigating questions about the moral legitimacy of surrogacy; in the final part, I reject other moral heuristics that might be proposed as alternatives to the commercial/altruistic dichotomy, and reiterate that a virtue-ethical framework is the most suitable way forward.

The word surrogacy has its origin among the Latin term “surrogatus” which suggests a lady acts as a substitute for a pregnant woman. Surrogacy has been in practice form last thirty years. The surrogacy regulated by business can be classified as then, altruistic surrogacy and commercial surrogacy. The paper aim to conduct systematic review on surrogacy. The literature review was conducted using PubMed and alternative search engines. Further, additional information concerning the constitutional articles was collected from search engines like legal service of India, prsinndia.org, icmr.nic.in, Press Information Bureau, Wikipedia, IJCM and Indiankanoon. In India, surrogacy is legally recognised since 2002. This paper looks into various aspects of surrogacy. Factors faced by the surrogate mother such as exploitation, psychological conditions, human rights, dignity and respect, feminism and religious issues are explored. The paper discuss the economic benefit is mostly enjoyed by the medical practitioners. The Indian government tried to curb the problems by updating the law to overcome the challenges but with time government introduce the surrogacy bill in 2016 which addressed many issues and still in 2020 it address various aspects of surrogacy to prevent the exploitation.
