Abstract

The pressure mounted by the society and more importantly the desire to have one’s own biological offspring has paved the way for development of the reproductive technology. Amongst Hindus, an offspring could help in the attainment of ‘moksha’ because only one’s own son could offer ‘shradh and pind daan’ which were considered as ways for attaining salvation. This is not it, across all religions and countries, the birth of child is considered a matter of prestige and as the only purpose of the matrimonial union. The society has from very inception emphasized on child bearing and the couples especially women who could not bear child were often abandoned or ostracized. With advent of reproductive technology or popularly

known as assisted conceptional techniques the society has viewed it as nothing less than a miracle especially for infertile couples, single parent, homosexuals and lesbians. But soon after it becoming popular it got entangled in controversies due to the shift from traditional ways of conception to non-traditional methods and at the same time an opportunity for artificial reproductive clinic offering such services, a mechanism for minting money at the cost of health of woman and child. This article is kaleidoscope showcasing the socio-legal aspects of reproductive technology.
