Surrogacy

Surrogacy is the boon for the infertile couple and is the way of reproduction in which one woman agrees to give birth to a child of other couple and becomes pregnant. The lady who gives birth by the surrogacy procedure is called the surrogate mother. She may be a gestational carrier i.e. carry the pregnancy to delivery once she is implanted with the embryo of the lady who is not able to conceive as she is not able to provide the needed environment to mature to the embryo .
