Telangana Commission Probes Eight ART Centres in Oocyte Racket

The Telangana Women's Commission has initiated an inquiry into eight ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) centres operating in the state. The investigation stems from allegations of an illegal oocyte racket, where eggs are reportedly being harvested and sold without proper consent or ethical considerations. The Commission has issued notices to the eight centres, demanding detailed information about their operations, patient records, and any involvement in the alleged racket. The outcome of this investigation could have significant implications for the ART industry in Telangana and raise crucial questions about patient safety and ethical practices.
