Cabinet clears bill to ban commercial surrogacy
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday cleared the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2016 proposing ban on surrogacy except for proven infertility. It also proposes to prohibit any woman to surrogate more than once in her lifetime. The Bill comes as India has emerged as a surrogacy hub for couples, said Union Minister Sushma Swaraj. She further criticised celebrities for opting for surrogacy.
