Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan received a clean chit from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on a case of alleged gender testing that is banned in India. The BMC told the Bombay High Court on September 12 that an inquiry has found baseless the allegations leveled against SRK and his wife Gauri of conducting pre-birth sex determination tests of their surrogate son AbRam. Justice Sadhana Jadhav was hearing a petition filed by social activist Varsha Deshpande for early hearing of the complaint filed by her in a magistrate court seeking action against the couple and others under the Pre-conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (Prohibition of Sex Selection) Act.
The Mumbai Court also noted that the only basis for the petitioner's complaint was newspaper reports. The complainant alleged that the civic officials had failed to take action against the couple and hence she moved the magistrate's court with a fresh complaint. Earlier, Shah Rukh had rubbished allegations over the pre-natal gender tests on his third child. The couple already has two children -- Aryan and Suhana.

The women and child development (WCD) ministry of India has proposed to the health ministry to allow surrogacy to everyone, including unmarried couples and those in live-in relationships etc. In its comments sent to the health ministry on the proposed Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) bill, 2013, the WCD has opined that surrogacy should be allowed to everyone, irrespective of marriage.
Calling the definition of “couple” (as stated by health ministry) narrow, the WCD has suggested that the definition of “couple should include everyone who wants to avail ARTs and surrogacy, irrespective of marriage.”

hopefully this reccomendation will turn things around for the Indian medical Tourism scenario which right now is going through a very lean phase much like other major sectors of the economy.

in one of my earlier entries i had written about Big Pharma Companies and their refusal to sell drugs at a cheaper rate to millions of needy folk in the developing world.
“Fire in the Blood,” directed by Irish-Punjabi filmmaker Dylan Mohan Gray, describes itself as an intricate tale of medicine, monopoly and malice.
The documentary, which opens in the U.S. this weekend and in India next month, argues that Western pharmaceutical companies and governments caused at least 10 million unnecessary deaths since 1996 by aggressively blocking the developing world’s access to low-cost AIDS drugs.
The film, narrated by actor William Hurt, follows a group of activists who came together to stop what they describe as the crime of the century.
Before the documentary’s New York premiere, Mr. Gray spoke with The Wall Street Journal’s India Real Time about taking on Big Pharma and the starring role India can play in the global struggle for affordable medicine.
the trailer can bee seen on the link below,i cannot wait for it to release.
