ABSTRACT
The Act has a number of shortcomings, including a lack of inclusivity, the exclusion of non-binary gender, the ban on commercial surrogacy, and the ambiguity of some provisions.
Apart from a few shortcomings that we shall explore below, the Act does not address several crucial issues. By making modifications where necessary to act in the best interests of the people, I hope to draw attention to the need for the Act to become more inclusive and unambiguous. The Act has primarily been criticised for its restrictions on who can use surrogacy services, its exclusion of non-binary gender, its prohibition of commercial surrogacy, the need to include traditional surrogacy, and the challenges that medical professionals may encounter as a result of the law's ambiguity.
