Rich people always want poverty in the society for their own interests. If you badly need to raise a child, adopt a homeless one. Children must inherit your traits - it is just a selfish narcissistic ego,” she wrote on Twitter. Nasreen went on, “How do those mothers feel when they get their readymade babies through surrogacy? Do they have the same feelings for the babies like the mothers who give birth to the babies?” As expected, Nasreen’s views on the subject raised hackles. While some netizens agreed, many said it was insensitive and emphasised that the decision to opt for adoption or surrogacy is an intensely personal choice made by an individual or couple. Some also pointed to the fact that opting for surrogacy is often motivated by medical concerns, reports India Today’s news portal.
