Designer babies, with an Indian twist

Designer babies, with an Indian twist: What makes IVF treatments particular to India, though, is that many infertile couples demand egg donors and surrogate mothers of a particular caste and sub-caste when they seek in vitro fertilization treatments or surrogacy services. In contrast to the West, where medical fitness is often a key criterion for choosing egg donors, in India medical checks are done after the family is convinced about the donor or surrogate’s caste background.

    Just another way to dehumanize a person. No matter how far we "progress," evil remains.
