Abstract
The paper provides a closer perspective on the series of discriminatory practices that affect both the infertile woman battling reproductive failures as well as the fertile surrogate who gestates on her behalf. It would bring out concerns on the persistence of stigma in the altruistic form of surrogacy, on the conceptual dimensions of stigma operating in what I call a surrogacy-space and most importantly on the law’s positionality in divesting (or not) the stigma entrenched in Indian surrogacy.
