In a pivotal case before the Bombay High Court, two women aged 53 and 55 are contesting the 50-year age limit imposed by the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, which restricts access to IVF treatments. They argue that this cutoff is arbitrary and discriminatory, asserting that their physical condition should be the determining factor rather than age alone. Medical professionals, including Dr. Rujul Jhaveri from Narayana Health SRCC Children’s Hospital in Mumbai, caution against the risks associated with pregnancies at this age, noting increased chances of complications such as hypertension and gestational diabetes. The court has allowed the petitioners to undergo fitness tests as a preliminary measure while seeking expert opinions on the implications of pregnancies in older women. This case not only questions the legal framework surrounding reproductive rights but also emphasizes the need for thorough counseling regarding the potential risks involved. The outcome of this case could reshape the landscape of reproductive health in India, as it weighs the rights of individuals against the medical realities of advanced-age pregnancies.
