Centre Amended the Surrogacy Rules | UPSC | Drishti IAS English

Why were the Surrogacy Rules Modified ? | UPSC | Drishti IAS English The Union government modified the Surrogacy (Regulation) Rules, 2022, to permit married couples to use donor eggs or donor sperm for surrogacy — a move that provided a big relief to those with medical complications. This revoked a previous amendment made in March 2023 that banned the use of such donor gametes. The modification in the surrogacy rules came more than a month after Additional Solicitor General Aishwarya Bhati apprised the Supreme Court that the government was considering changes in the amendment to allow married couples to use donor gametes for surrogacy in case they suffered from medical ailments that made it difficult to conceive. On March 14, 2023, Form 2 (Consent of the Surrogate Mother and Agreement for Surrogacy) of the Surrogacy Rules read with Rule 7 was amended to stipulate that donor eggs could not be used for gestational surrogacy of an intending couple. This has now been amended by a notification of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare allowing married couples to use a donor gamete on the condition that a District Magistrate Board certifies that either the husband or the wife suffers from a medical condition. We discussed all the aspects of this issue here in this video. =̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵ 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐭𝐢 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐩𝐩 𝐧𝐨𝐰 : https://play.google.com/store/apps/de... =̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵ 𝐓𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐈𝐀𝐒 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐬 𝐏𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬: 👉 For 𝐟𝐞𝐞 & 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 of IAS Prelims Pendrive/Online Courses: https://www.drishtiias.com/online-course 👉 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 Page Link for 𝐇𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢 𝐋𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞- http://bit.ly/3cAFH6L 👉 Online IAS GS (Prelims + Mains) Foundation Course 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬 playlist- https://bit.ly/3xkUsDM 👉 To 𝐛𝐮𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 call us: 9319290700/9319290701/9319290702 👉 Mail us: [email protected] =̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵ 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐮𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚 : https://drishti.xyz/SocialMedia-YT =̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵=̵ 👉 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬- 1.Recap 2023: https://bit.ly/3HfMx1W 2.
