Although embryo freezing is not new ,it is now being widely used .Embryos are created in laboratories(test tube).While some are transferred to the mother,a few others are stored at freezing temperatures.It was this kind of 14-embryo sample that the Israeli couple brought to Mumbai in two batches of seven each.Apart from fee,the couple paid the surrogate mother's rent and medical bills.

It is not difficult to understand why they chose Mumbai."Quite apart from the warmth the hospitals here are as good if not better than our hospitals",said Dolat.
