In Bollywood, the trend of giving birth to children through surrogacy is increasing. Last night, world famous actress Priyanka Chopra gave birth to a child through the same process.
There have been many Bollywood actors in the past who had children through surrogacy, now the question arises as to what this process is.
What is surrogacy?
In this process the sperm and egg of the parents are obtained and embryo is made in the laboratory, then it is injected into the uterus of another woman (who is ready to give birth to the child of this couple).
Then at 9 months the mother raises the baby of the couple in her womb, ie genetically the baby belongs to the couple only the uterus is used by someone else, women who are older or have hormonal problems, Doctors recommend surrogacy.
