Paper long abstract:

Rightly or wrongly, infertile women in all walks of life in India perceive the assisted reproduction as the only way out to get rid of stigmatized identity in order to bypass the option of adopting the child as this will not serve the purpose of being the prospective mother of her biological progeny. There is a strong relation between the UN declaration of Article 16 (…to found a family…) and stringent ethical framework to closely monitoring the procedure of assisted reproduction no matter varies from country to country to restrict the aspiring infertile women (couples) to avail this technique. This restriction further widens the possible field of medical tourism. As a result of that, post menopausal women used to avail this technology to become a mother in India where the ethical framework in the form of ICMR guidelines is only there in black and white. Unless there is a clear explanation about the modus operandi of the entire procedure of assisted reproductive techniques, the sustainability of the verbal promise is going to persist. The present paper has done an in-depth analysis of the impact of assisted reproductive procedures on the infertile women irrespective of the age and reproductive complications. The paper wants to conclude that the only uniform and bold advocacy can clear the confusion about this procedure among the general public. Cognitive dissonance tends to lead dissatisfaction and unhappiness, which is the painful condition in which the infertile women underscore the positive outcome through this technology.
