Surrogacy is a process when another woman carries a baby for a couple who wants to have a child ( intended parents). It is advisable for women with the absent / malformed uterus, repeated IVF failures and recurrent pregnancy losses.
Surrogacy has been practiced as a means of helping women who are unable to bear children for centuries. With modern IVF, it is now possible to generate embryos from the genetic couple (patient couple) and transfer them to the “surrogate host”, who therefore provides no genetic contribution to any child that results from such an arrangement.
