Ahmedabad - A
43-year-old Indian woman has given birth to her
British-based daughter's twins in the western state of
Gujarat, raising protests from some ethics groups.
When Deepti Ben's daughter Reena, a British resident,
failed to find anyone to become a surrogate mother to
her children, she turned to her own mother.
"When Reena was diagnosed, it was found even though she
could not conceive because she did not have a uterus,
her ovaries were normal," said Naina Patel, IVF
practitioner, who delivered the twins in Anand, more
than 70km south of here.
"So, it was recommended that she have babies through
IVF, but she was not able to find anyone in London to
conceive. That's when her mother's name cropped up."
