Up till now India was known for IT outsourcing but now there is one more area where it is making its name and it is embryo outsourcing. People from West are viewing India as an attractive destination where they can rent a womb at considerably lower costs.
Both foreigners and NRIs are hopping to India in order to fulfill their dreams of a child and the numbers of foreigners is comparatively more. The couples are even not concerned about the genetic pool changes.
This has also emerged as a cheaper option when compared with IVF. With this method no legal tangles are involved and with the biological adoption of the child the couple gets their privacy and social acceptance too.
This has surely brought smiles on the faces of the childless couples but what about the social issues involved.

Hey Gautam , I don’t think anyone should have an issue with the trend of hiring wombs...every lady or for that matter every man has a wish of a child, and not all woman have the God gift of bearing a fetus, therefore I see no social issue involved. though I totally disagree with the same if it instead of a social assistance meted out into trade.
This has not only emerged as a cheaper option when compared with IVF, its safer too, therefore this trend is gaining toll.
