Abstract: The Assisted Reproductive Technologies (Regulation) Bill, 2010 is a new legislation that aims to regulate the surrogacy industry for which India has become a preferred destination by foreign citizens looking for “wombs for rent†. This paper aims to descriptively analyse the place of a surrogate in the general scheme of the Bill which focuses on the assisted reproductive technology industry as such and of which surrogates are a part. The author through this paper concludes that the Bill neglects most of the issues pertinent to the interest of a surrogate making her a small player in the billion dollar industry but to which she is a major contributor.
