While she did not take any name, soon after Priyanka Chopra announced that she has become a mother via surrogacy, activist Taslima Nasreen penned down her views on surrogacy.?
What she wrote has kickstarted a debate on Twitter.?
She wrote, "Surrogacy is possible because there are poor women. Rich people always want the existence of poverty in the society for their own interests. If you badly need to raise a child, adopt a homeless one. Children must inherit your traits---it is just a selfish narcissistic ego. How do those mothers feel when they get their readymade babies through surrogacy? Do they have the same feelings for the babies like the mothers who give birth to the babies?"
For the unversed, surrogacy is an arrangement wherein a woman agrees to carry as well as give birth to?a child on behalf of another couple. The egg?of a woman?is?fertilised with the sperm of a man through medical procedures. Thereafter, the embryo is implanted in the uterus of the surrogate mother, who then gives birth to the child.?
