AHMEDABAD (TOI) : Anand the global surrogacy capital has some reasons to cheer. The 500 test tube baby was born in the surrogacy capital and that too a twin.
The delivery of the twin bought a immense joy to the childless couple, but was a moment of celebration for the town as it marked the birth of the 500th birth surrogate and test tube child for the clinic.
The clinic in order to share its happiness with those associated also held a small ceremony which was joined by not only the recently born twins but also many other surrogate mothers and their families.
Doctors at the clinic say that childless couples from around 29 countries including India, USA, UK, and Pakistan turn to Anand seeking help of surrogate mothers to give birth to their babies. According to them, babies born through In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) have shown a ratio of 253 boys and 247 girls at the clinic.
"It is a good feeling. After a long struggle and controversies we have been able to spread happiness to 500 childless homes," said Dr Nayna Patel, who is considered to be one of the pioneers in IVF surrogacy.

अहमदाबाद (दिव्य मराठी नेटवर्क)
- चित्त्यांच्या संख्येत वाढ करण्यासाठी गुजरात सरकारने ‘सरोगेट मदर’
पद्धतीचा अवलंब करण्याचे ठरवले आहे. चित्त्यांची पैदास करण्यासाठी मादी
बिबट्यांचा सरोगेट मदर म्हणून वापर केला जाणार आहे. स्कॉटलंडचे डॉ. बिल
रीची यांनी पंधरा वर्षांपूर्वी क्लोनिंगद्वारे डॉली मेंढी तयार केली होती.
आता चित्त्यांची पैदास करण्यासाठीही त्यांची मदत घेतली जाणार आहे.
गुजरातेतील
जुनागड येथील सक्करबाग प्राणिसंग्रहालयात तीन आफ्रिकन चित्ते आहेत. 2009
मध्ये सिंगापूरमधून तीन गीर सिंहांच्या बदल्यात हे चित्ते आणले गेले.
गुजरातचे मुख्य वनसंरक्षक प्रदीप खन्ना यांनी या योजनेसंबंधी माहिती दिली
आहे. त्यांनी सांगितले की, ‘चित्ता हा स्वभावत:च लाजाळू प्राणी आहे.
त्यामुळे मादी चित्त्याने प्राणिसंग्रहालयात गर्भधारणा करून पिलाला जन्म
दिल्याची उदाहरणे फार कमी आहेत. कोणत्याही प्रकारे चित्त्यांच्या संख्येत
वाढ करण्याचा आमचा प्रयत्न आहे. या दिशेने वाटचाल करण्यासाठी आम्ही जगातील
नामांकित तज्ज्ञांची मदत घेतली आहे. कृत्रिम गर्भधारणा आणि सरोगेसी हे
दोन प्रयोग आम्ही राबवणार आहोत.’

रुपयांचा निधी उपलब्ध करून देण्यात आला आहे.
Surrogacy made easier in South Australia
The Australian News: SOUTH Australia has fallen into line with other states by changing its surrogacy laws.
SA women will now be able to access a surrogate if their life or health would be put in serious danger through a traditional pregnancy.
State parliament has also approved a change to define a woman who cannot carry a child to full term as infertile, allowing them to use a surrogate.
The changes bring SA into line with Western Australia, Queensland, NSW and Victoria.
Liberal MP Rachel Sanderson said the amendments were sparked by a woman who came to her this year upset because she feared she would never be able to have another child.
"Having required a wheelchair for six months and suffering serious health implications through the delivery of her first child, she was told that even though she was fertile she would be unlikely to ever walk again if she attempted to carry another child," Ms Sanderson said.
