The Bill and Apprehensions:

• Altruism ignores the physical and emotional labour of the surrogate mother and does not take into consideration post-partum issues, whether mental or physical.

• The current Bill bans live-in couples, homosexual, trans people, and singles from opting for surrogacy. This makes the current law discriminatory towards a group of citizens, making it a gross violation of Article 14 of the Constitution (Right to Equality).

• The provisions of the current Bill, legalises altruistic surrogacy, citing chances of lesser exploitation. However, the exploitation of women (for commercial or non- commercial reasons) can happen within altruistic practices of surrogacy as well.

• Permitting women to provide reproductive labour for free to another person but preventing them from being paid for it is unfair and arbitrary.

• The Bill also closes all avenues of imparting opportunities for international surrogacy. Foreigners and non- resident Indians (NRIs) are excluded.
