迄今为止，跨境护理背景下的代孕很少受到国际社会工作界的关注。在印度，为外国夫妇提供代孕服务可能被视为该国更广泛的健康旅游业的一部分。本文概述了目前印度代孕的证据，并讨论了拟议的立法，2009年辅助生殖技术（监管）法案和规则，在多大程度上令人满意地解决了社会工作者的担忧，以确保充分保护从事代孕的年轻印度妇女的利益，正如国际社会工作者联合会关于跨境生殖保健的政策所概述的那样。
Surrogacy in the context of cross-border care has hitherto received little attention from the international social work community. In India, the provision of surrogacy services for foreign couples may be seen as part of the country's wider health tourism industry. This article overviews current evidence on surrogacy in India, and discusses the extent to which proposed legislation, the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (Regulation) Bill and Rules 2009, satisfactorily addresses social workers' concerns to ensure adequate protection of the interests of young Indian women engaged in surrogacy, as outlined in the International Federation of Social Workers' policy on cross-border reproductive care.
