In boost to fertility treatment, govt allows import of frozen embryos

January 17, 2014

India has allowed the import of human embryos for artificial reproduction, opening up what is expected to be a huge segment of the medical tourism market. The decision will allow foreign couples to bring in frozen human embryos and rent a surrogate womb in India for the baby to be born. The relaxed rules will also apply to other infertility-related treatment such as IVF. (Indian Express)
