Posted by Surrogacy conceptually and practically has several dimensions, and it involves an interplay of all disciplines such as law/medicine/taxation/commerce/morality/religion/human rights/social connotation/economic implications/human trafficking, etc. To address all these disciplines and thereby explore the concept of surrogacy, it is required for the academicians, stakeholders, and industry people to come together, form a forum, and discuss the concept in the interest of justice. Furthermore, India is heading towards its own surrogacy bill, and academic discourse of such nature is required to be there to exchange ideas and inputs.
Therefore, we at MNLUA are privileged to organize a 2-day virtual Multi-disciplinary Seminar on Surrogacy to revisit the concept of Surrogacy and shed light on the economic, social, religious, legal, and psychological aspects of surrogacy.
