The Surrogacy Bill 2016 and the recent Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights ( MSCPCR) is silent on the fundamental right of child, that every infant including surrogate child born of surrogacy has right to breast feeding or similar substitutes in the interest of early growth, survival and development of child.
The Surrogacy Bill 2016 and the recent Maharashtra State Commission for Protection of Child Rights ( MSCPCR) is silent on the fundamental right of child, that every infant including surrogate child born of surrogacy has right to breast feeding or similar substitutes in the interest of early growth, survival and development of child. The MSCPCR issued guidelines this month on regulation of surrogacy for protection of interest of child born of surrogacy, the surrogate mother and to check any malpractices but the commission guidelines does not address the same. Considering the commission is a specialized body constituted under CPCR Act 2005 with the specific mandate to promote the best interest of child through its recommendations following review of existing legislations, policy, such oversight by commission is a glaring omission.
