What do you want to rent??


Since childhood, I have seen many things being rented. I have stayed in rented house, rode in rented bicycle, have rented books and rented many such things.... But this one, that I came to know of is very new to me.. THE RENTING OF ONE's WOMB.......... in the name of surrogate mother...


It was only in the movies, that I came across this topic, but day by day they are gaining reality and importance. And making me bizzare of the entire thing..


I heard more than two or such cases recently. A Japanese couple coming to India in search of a surrogate mother i.e. in rent of a womb , things when linking with our culture and conscience, it hurts. Indirectly people rented her humanity, maternity and conscience too.


And the distressing factor is that the lady is letting herself rented/used for the sake of a few currencies???!!! What happened to her soul? It sold itself? Or the lady thought that it was a great deed or sacrifice??


If the couple in both the cases , were really in need of a child, the earth is a place where they can find crores and crores of children seeking for attention and love. Dont they see these children as children???


India is famous for its hospitality and sacrificing its lives, but sacrificing one's soul and living with currency is like living with nothing!!! Oh God!! how the conscience allows itself to be rented???
