Traditional surrogacy comes as a surrogacy arrangement where the surrogate mother is been artificially inseminated with the semen of the intended father and this case scenario, she will be biologically connected with the born child. On the other side, Gestational surrogacy is a surrogacy arrangement where the eggs and sperm derived from the intended parents are mixed in a lab dish and once it develops into an embryo, the same gets implanted into the womb of the surrogate mother. On the other side, Gestational surrogacy is more popular than the traditional surrogacy as here the surrogate mother won’t be having any genetic connection with the born child and both the parents will be biologically connected with the future child.
