Abstract
The desire for parenthood among infertile individuals is often fulfilled by resorting to the ever-evolving Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). Since the birth of Durga, India's first baby born using ART in 1981, the lucrative fertility industry has grown exponentially in our country. The Government of India passed the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulatory) Act in 2021 to provide regulatory support to these services. The legislation offers clarity on various aspects of ART, including measures to safeguard children born through these procedures. The effective implementation of the ART Act is crucial to ensure that ART services become affordable, ethical, and socially acceptable in India. This article aims to discuss the controversies with ART services and issues that could compromise the wellbeing of children, while highlighting the provisions provided under the Act to address these.
