Gestational Surrogacy

More than half a million couples may be suffering from infertility in the world. When in vitro fertilization is unsuccessful, surrogacy may be a substitute choice for many couples. Literature shows that ten million Muslims are infertile worldwide. According to Islamic theology the concept of surrogacy is null and void as formation of blastocyst constitutes from sperm that is transferred to the uterus of a woman who is not married to him. In Islam, marriage is the only legal procedure to procreation for preservation of lineage, inheritance, prevention of adultery and prevention of possibility of incest among the half-siblings.  Genetic gestational surrogacy (sperm of husband and ovum of wife is fertilized by IVF procedure and transfer the embryos to the surrogate mother) may be free from social, legal and moral complications. Some Islamic countries have reluctant law in favour of surrogacy, as for example Iran, Lebanon and sporadic parts of the Muslim world. This article has attempted to find out a valid notion for accepting genetic gestational surrogacy in major part of the Muslim world that may reduce the peril of women who can not give a birth baby.

Gestational Surrogacy

Surrogacy is the carrying of a child for its intended parents by another person where they cannot do this themselves. There are two main types; gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. The first relies on the transfer of an embryo created by in-vitro fertilization (IVF); the resulting child is not genetically related to the surrogate mother. In the traditional form, the surrogate mother is impregnated naturally or artificially, and the child is genetically related to the surrogate. In either case the intended parent(s) may seek such arrangements when pregnancy may be difficult, or because they are male. If the surrogate mother is paid (other than out-of-pocket expenses), the arrangement is commercial surrogacy; otherwise it is ‘altruistic' surrogacy. Legal situations and costs vary, and if possible at all, usually requires specific arrangements between countries. Problems, such those in the recent Australia-Thailand (Gammy) case, can arise even with agreements.

Reproductive Techniques

Worldwide, about 200 million couples are infertile. Almost 15 per cent of them require ART and IVF treatments. Couples who are unable to conceive even after years of trying could use procedure called Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) to get pregnant. These includes Intrauterine Insemination, In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Spern / Egg donation, and Gestational Carriers called “Surrogacy”. People join for Surrogacy when they want to have their genes in the child but can not make it happen in natural course. There are two types of Surrogacy: (1) The man’s sperm and the woman’s ova is injected in the uterus of the surrogate mother who rents out her womb for the child, (2) If the Egg of the mother is not good enough to produce a baby, an Egg is then rented out by donor mother. A tripartite agreement is duly signed according to the terms and conditions prevalent at that time. This Editorial viewed Surrogacy Industry through the lens of intent, efficacy, and its purview.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) and the risk of birth and developmental defects - facts and fictions Poland is being swept by a wave of discussions on various aspects of IVF application. Scientists of various disciplines are getting involved in these discussions as opponents to this form of procreation. Referring to research carried out all over the world, they demonstrate that children born thanks to the in vitro procedure are significantly more susceptible to all sorts of disease. The author, surveying available research data, shows that, in reality, the worse health of in vitro-conceived children deals with a narrow number of well-identified disorders and in most cases is of correlative, not causative nature. The main reason for the weaker health of these children is often connected with the advanced age of the parents who choose IVF and their health condition (mothers' in particular), as compared to those who become parents in a natural way.
