Awareness And Knowledge of Medical Students Regarding Surrogacy.

Introduction: As the population is becoming more aware regarding the doctor-patient relationship, it has become imperative that the clinician becomes more aware as well. Surrogacy is a procedure being increasingly used by childless couples, and it involves a direct relationship between the doctor and the biological as well as intending parents. Materials and Method: The present study was conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude of medical students regarding surrogacy and its legal aspects. Results and Conclusions: The study revealed that though the students are well aware of the science and principles behind surrogacy, there exists a lacunae as far as the knowledge of its legal framework and guidelines are concerned.
