Abstract

In India, until recently, the ethics related to the practice of ART have been governed by customary social practices within the community, conventional human rights, and sometimes religious law, which are based on spiritual values. The extent of human rights is acceptable in Indian law provided the procedures of investigations and their consequence do not harm anybody or contradict the customary practices and do not exceed the limits of popular tolerance.
