The Role of Media in Spreading Awareness of Surrogacy/Surrogate Mother

The principal objective of this study is to find out the awareness of surrogacy among common people. The media being the benchmark, the study concentrates on the role of media in spreading awareness to the general public. The surrogacy process has a taboo attached to it especially in Indian context. The word surrogacy is either unpopular or have had a negative meaning among the people. Those women who become surrogate mothers are not given appropriate respect or rather considered unusual from the society. What exactly is a surrogacy, what is the process involved and what is the role of surrogate mother, these are few common questions based on which survey will be conducted in order to figure out the medium through which people are acknowledged. Surrogacy is considered as consent to those couple who have no chance of getting a baby of their own. At this stage they can approach surrogate mother who is ready to bear the baby for such couple.
