Also, the ministry said that there should be some provision in case the child born with any deficiency needs to be with the surrogate mother till it is handed over to the surrogate parents.
The ministry has proposed that the minimum compensation to the surrogate should be paid once an embryo has been transferred in her, irrespective of whether she is able to deliver the child or not or has to terminate her pregnancy due to medical complications.
The ministry has also asked the health ministry to specify the maximum number of cycles a woman can undergo for the process. As per the ministry, the draft Bill should also contain provisions for the regulations of other players like medical tourism agencies, surrogacy agencies, surrogacy homes and hostels, surrogacy law firms etc.
The ministry has also suggested the donors with two live children should not be allowed for ART procedure. While the health ministry is eager to approach the Cabinet, it has given a new deadline to the ministries for sending their comments after the other ministries failed to send their comments by August 5.
The health ministry has so far got comments only from the DGHS, the other key ministries like ministry of external affairs , Home ministry and Planning Commission are yet to send their comments.
Health ministry officials say that they will wait till September 10. “We are open to suggestions. However, if we do not get comments till September 10, we will presume that the other ministries don’t have any suggestions. We will take a view and will send the cabinet note to the law ministry for vetting,” said an official.
