Surrogacy as a new reproductive technology is a growing practice and a burning issue on the transnational scene. The question of its legitimacy gives rise to new controversies since it creates complex relationships between rich people from the North and vulnerable women from the South. However, the literature in this area essentially tackles ethical, medical, and family issues in Western countries. Very little is known about Southern countries due to the paucity of empirical studies focusing on them. The objective of this article is to analyse surrogacy in the South from the perspective of reproductive rights: in reference to the definitions drawn up in Cairo and Beijing, can surrogacy be analysed as a reproductive right? India is a special case of interest as it has become an international leader in relation to surrogacy. This article draws on data, including interviews with surrogates, from the fieldwork conducted by Pande in Ahmadabad (2006-2008), Saravanan in Gujarat (2009), and Rudrappa in Bangalore (2011-2012) to discuss issues of surrogacy in India.
