NEW DELHI: The parliamentary standing committee on health , evaluating the surrogacy bill, has called the proposed legislation "too narrow" in its approach while deciding eligibility. Criticising the government for prohibiting homosexuals, single parents, and live-in couples from commissioning surrogacy, the committee suggested the department of health research broaden the eligibility criteria keeping in view the present day social milieu. "The committee observes that limiting the option to avail surrogacy facilities to an Indian heterosexual married couple to have their own biological child has overlooked a large section of the society," the committee, headed by SP MP Ram Gopal Yadav, said. tnnThe committee presented a detailed report on the surrogacy bill in the Rajya Sabha on Thursday.The report said by imposing prohibition on widows and divorced women, the government has "closed its eyes on ground reality". "If all these categories are to be banned then why have surrogacy at all?" it asked.However, it approved of the Centre's proposal to prohibit foreigners from commissioning surrogacy in India.
