Thai set to ban commercial surrogacy

Posted by Dr Samit Sekhar on 03:11

After a brief lull,Thai Surrogacy is again back in the news
Thailand`s parliament has voted to ban commercial surrogacy after outrage erupted following allegations an Australian couple abandoned a baby with Down`s syndrome, a legislator said Friday.

A draft bill -- which would see anyone profiting off surrogacy given a maximum ten year prison sentence -- passed its first reading in the country`s military-stacked Parliament on Thursday, legislator Wallop Tungkananurak said.
"We want to put an end to this idea in foreigners` minds that Thailand is a baby factory," he told AFP.
"The bill was adopted with overwhelming support."

Freezing Shikha's eggs could mean that, in a few years, when the Vermas are ready - and if they are unable to have a child naturally - they could turn to her frozen eggs stored at the Kiran infertility centre in Hyderabad, get them thawed, and after the in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure, implant the embryo in Shikha's womb. Her chances of getting pregnant through this method would depend on several factors including the quality of her eggs at the time of banking.
