The word surrogate is derived from Latin word meaning ‗surrogatus‘ (substitution) – meaning to act in the place of. Surrogacy is divided into two categories that are altruistic and gestational. In this paper the author is mainly focused on the Gestational Surrogacy and impact of ART and to suggest policy regularize the ART bill. Because of the medical/ fertility tourism more number of foreigners coming to India to get their genetic child. If the Indian government failed to regularize the commercial surrogacy, vulnerability of women seems like a kind of slave. We should realize, seven decades before the foreigners treated Indian people as slave but now due to the reproductive technology again the Indian women were using as slave for procreation.

Introduction Human In the world, each and every woman has a wonderful capacity for procreation and every woman cherishes the experience of motherhood. But, the social and cultural factors coerce women to procreate, if suppose the women cannot procreate due to some biological and physiological condition, the duos are presumed to be unfit to live their life and there is no meaning to live in the world. There are many reasons for infertility like lifestyle factors, habits etc. Owing to modern life style infertility is a common problem to everyone. The defect is either with men or women or both. In this particular situation they seek medical attention. Here, the physicians have introduced technology like Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) to the duos. Compare to other Assisted Reproductive Technology the duos are mainly focused on surrogacy because in surrogacy they can easily get their own genetic child. The word surrogate is derived from Latin word meaning ‗surrogatus‘ (substitution) - meaning to act in the place of. Surrogacy is divided into two categories that are altruistic and gestational. In this paper the author is mainly focusing on the Gestational Surrogacy, impact of ART on women and to recommend policy regularize the ART bill. In surrogacy, the altruistic surrogacy involved within the family members or akin relationship. But in gestational surrogacy, third parties are used as a carrier. Here, third parties belong to a woman who is economically backward and vulnerable. Also, these women‘s are supplied/ selected by mediators/ brokers and/or doctors. The most, important thing is, in gestational surrogacy the reproductive health of women is abused by medical technologies, doctors and the economically sophisticated groups. In gestational surrogacy, surrogate is essentially seen as a glorified incubator. Carriers become commodities. To view human person as parts of commodities for our primarily use and exploitation is dubious. No human being or her parts should be treated as a commodity precisely as object, but they are human being as subjects, not to treat as fragmented organ. Thus, to view, treat a woman as a mere incubator belies her dignity and worth as an individual person. 2. New Reproductive Technology and Impact on Women The New Reproductive Technologies and Assisted Reproductive Technologies have been serving the infertile couples to have their own child and facilitate to own genetic child. The ART is emerging as panacea for infertile couples across the countries in the world. As literature revealed that it serves to help the homosexual partners to also have a child. The adoption scheme earlier followed had stringent procedures and the duos are not able to have their own genetic child. Hence, parents prefer their
