On We The People we look at the new Surrogacy Bill cleared by the Cabinet that bans commercial surrogacy and allows only altruistic surrogacy, that too by close relatives. The draft bill bars gays, single persons and live in couples from opting for surrogacy. On the show, we ask: is the government playing nanny with a regressive bill? Is the bill protecting the rights of women, as government claims, or denies them freedom of choice? And isn't altruistic surrogacy another form of pressure on women?
