Had the Surrogacy Regulation Bill 2016, which is pending in Parliament, been passed, it would have been illegal for Karan Johar to opt for surrogacy. On The Buck Stops Here, we ask: as Karan Johar shatters stereotypes and follows his heart, has he put the spotlight squarely back on the proposed surrogacy law? Is it unfair to deprive all others apart from infertile legally married couples from opting for surrogacy? Or is it ethical and moral to crack down on an unregulated rent-a-womb industry, even if it means depriving a wider cross-section of parenthood through surrogacy?
