what is the diff. b/w method GIFT and surrogate mother????????????
Hi
GiFT is the abbreviation used for Gamete Intra Fallopian Transfer – an assisted reproductive procedure. It involves removing a woman’s eggs, mixing them with sperm and immediately placing them into the woman's fallopian tube. The process of fertilization takes place in the woman’s body. This woman can be the donor of the egg or another woman. The woman in the latter case is called the surrogate mother.
So, by definition, surrogate mother is a woman who agrees, usually by contract and for a fee, to bear a child for a couple who are childless because the wife is infertile or not capable of bearing the pregnancy.
Best!
