Many countries oppose to surrogacy motherhood in general or at least to the paid kind, allegedly because such procedures could cause indignity to the pregnant woman. Considering the Indian experience – which is highly criticized in light of extremely degrading events – this study aims to explore whether treating the relationship between the woman and the recipients as a legal business (and the associated legal framework) could work as a solution to avoid such situations. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate that indignity is not related to surrogacy itself, but to the conditions in which it takes place.Downloads
