Sama Resource Group for Women and Health is a Delhi based organization
working on women’s health and rights in India. We are organizing an
International Consultation that will look into the issues of
Commercialization of Assisted Reproductive Technologies and its Ethical
implications. The Consultation aims to bring together activists/scholars and
researchers from different parts of the world particularly from regions that
are experiencing the implications of these technologies.

Through this consultation, we intend to:

   - Share and exchange information emanating from activism, research,
   practices, policies and regulatory mechanisms gathered from the ground from
   across the world and thereby enable the development of a framework for
   ethical norms and regulations;
   - Further the emerging debates on ‘new’ reproductive and genetic
   technologies in the context of public health and policy, research, ethics
   and practic;
   - Comprehend the advancements and debates around scientific research on
   infertility care, stem cells and cloning and examine the research priorities
   in the context of access to basic health care;
   - Locate the discussions and debate on ARTs within the framework of
   women’s health, rights and social justice;
