this doc is just bringing another option to poor families/people to earn some respectable amount by connecting people willing to pay for their requirement. It is a much better option as compared to other seriously oppressive trade that individuals take up in this country to earn few hundred rupees - just look around yourself you will find out.
if you cannot be innovative enough to find ways to make money for people around you (or yourself) then atleast you can keep your mouth shut. Some people have a need - they are willing to pay for it - there is someone who is willing to help with the need if returns are right. => If one can do it without violence, hackling others - it is quite legitimate and highly appreciable.
Figure out better ways, and then you are qualified to give your opinion
I feel that the money paid is too less to the women involved. $15000 per couple is 6,00,000. If 2,50,000 goes to the poor woman, assume 1,00,000 for expenses then 2,50,000 is in the doctor's kitty. Seems like a case of outsourcing, exploiting poor Indian people.

All the above are talking bullshit. I only agree 1.To one thingh surrogate mother is boon to couple who dont have a child. 2. Price for this job should be more at atleast Rs 5,00,000 or whatever surrogate mother defines 3. This money should be paid in advance and should not have bearing after the delivery i.e still baby of mid term abortion. 4. Doctor is only playing role to achieve satisfaction to parents and is not blameworthy and she is only charging her fees. 5. Friends it is good gesture on part of surrogate mother we should not blame/ criticise anyone and specially if we dont know the job.
Dr Patel should stop pretensions of doing some social work and boldly accept that for her, this is a commercial proposition. All this talk of one woman helping other is hogwash. If Dr. Patel is so concerned about childless couples and helping some poor women, she should offer her service free of cost or at bare minimum cost. The figures mentioned in the article are ample proof that this is nothing but business, something ingrained in Gujarati blood. To put it rather crudely, Dr. Patel is being a 'Dalal' between persons who need and persons who can provide.

In the whole cloumn she has never mentioned that she is doing a social service for the poors. It is her profession and she deserve to be paid for her services. whats wrong to help someone who is disabled? and that to with concurence from surrogate mothers. Atleast she as a doctor is doing something for these poor women who if not have opted to be a surrogate mother, would have died without being noticed.
I hope this will not turn to a racket! Who knows the trade is not a woman cheating another woman. Do you feel that Patil is doing this as a service not a business. And exploiting a womans' womb, never nobody dared ever to do this before. How can you justify ? a unmarried becoming a surrogate mother ? During the pregnancy, if anything bad happens, there is a risk that, never she will become pregnant again ! It is very dangerous and risky for unmarried woman who becomes a surrogate mother. She may not can deliver her own kids later ! To address all these, it should become a legal matter. There should be some regulation, which checks, only a mother can be made a surrogate mother. And also, these clinics and doctors should be under the scanner. THese buggers will make more money than a surrogate mother makes. That is not justice. The motherhood cannot be linked for money and business, rather it is a gift. I dont want to see India as a cheap destination for world to get surrogate mothers. Let other countries also find surrogate mothers in their country. Let Indian couples find, surrogate mothers from India. I want to see India as a great Nation, not as a place for all these illegal and cheap activites. Why this doctor herself dont want to be surrogate mother, and earn crores in this activity. Simply pushing unmarried and innocent woman to this trade ? See Dr. Patil's a smiling face to cheat the innocents of this country!

Are you a doctor, to decide this? It is her(patel) job to see that a surrogate mother is fit post-delivery. Thats the reason doctors are called professionals

How do u know that an unmarried women can not become a sarrogate mother and only mother can become mother. Was your own mother was a mother before giving a birth to her first child.
Please before writting anything just think it once.

The convention we should be having is that, a woman should be married, then have children. We belong to that kind of a family setup. Why one should be a unmarried mother? is not that a social evil ? If she deliver her own kid first, and then needed, if she takes risk for other is not a good idea ? Instead, she sacrifeis herself for the peanuts? 2000 rupees per month. Instead if she works as a house maid, cant she earn so much ? Why she need to change the family values or our traditional values, for whom she donot know before ? Is it not a simple theory ? Are we not having so many social evils in our society today? Do we need to get some more ?
Including developed countries, dnt do these kind of scientific researches in the basic things. Why indian woman need to surrogate for someone out of our circle or country? Dont we look so cheap in the global front? we sell and rent our motherhood? body ? womb? everything ? Do we left with any human values later !
