Surrogacy is one of the top achievements in the medical field. It is the artificial or the natural insemination. A Pune man died at the age of 27. His parents wanted to have their grandchildren just like their son so they decided to fuse the cryo-preserved semen of their son with a surrogate mother. They found a surrogate mother who happened to be the man’s aunt. She gave birth to twin baby boys.

The man’s mother said,” He was a bright student and excelled in academics. Even when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor and later lost his vision after the chemotherapy, he did not lose spirit. He fought valiantly to the last breath. He always tried to regale us with his stories and humor. That’s why, when we lost him, I wanted to have grandchildren using the cryo-preserved semen.”

Although it is a great achievement this time it is used in the wrong way. A Pune-based gynecologist Pankaj Sarode of said, “It is a medical feat which can be celebrated. But ethically, I don’t think this is correct. Bringing joy to grandparents is not what medical technology should be exploited.”
