This paper is delving into the debates around reproductive technologies. The choices available to women for reproduction has been analysed from the vantage point of different feminist theories to help us understand the complexity of positioning of these technologies in the lives of women and its impact. Different types of surrogacy have been discussed and the differences and similarities between the same have been highlighted. The main aim of the paper is to understand the ways in which Surrogacy impacts the lives of women (Commissioning parents and surrogate woman) from a theoretical perspective.
