The 21st century, as an age of knowledge or technology is in absolute contrast with the advancements toward human reconciliation and harmony, particularly towards the treatment of women and their generative powers. Though the elements like Earth, Nature, Nations, and Rivers are personified as Mothers, the very nature of motherhood is commercialized with the scientific advents. The study attempts to analyze the various forms of exploitation of impoverished women in the process of recreating motherhood in the contemporary world. The paper explores the rich versus poor business on the name of altruism that is spread into selling eggs, embryos and breast milk. Obviously, this commercialization of motherhood is more prevalent in many poor and under developed nations. The much considered ‘divinity’ has been transformed into many forms of trade, often ignoring the medical, legal, social and ethical aspects. The classic stature of woman is redefined by her fertile features in this digital age.
