GS3: SnT- What is Uterine transplant?- Being able to transfer a uterus from one woman to another, so that an infant is born, can be seen as a success in a medical sense.
GS4: Ethical dilemma-Bioethics- Researchers have now studied ethical aspects of uterus transplantation. The results show that uterus transplantation with living donors is ethically just as problematic as altruistic surrogacy.
research shows that many of the arguments against altruistic surrogacy can be applied to uterus transplantation as a treatment for involuntary childlessness.
Some of these include:
1.That the intervention can threaten the autonomy of the donor, and subject her to pressure.
2.That the intervention can lead to exploitation of women's bodies
3.That the research on the physical and psychological risks facing the child is inadequate

✅✅Gs4 - Attitudes- importance of communication for policy effectiveness.
GS4- Role of media and media ethics
Considering the answer trends here before posting this, dont you think media has a larger role in shaping our attitudes? If a majority of UPSC aspirants can get this wrong, I dont blame Mr. Bacchan. the Indian variety of bats are different from the carriers of Covid-19.
PS : Although bats are unwelcomed guests, don't go around destroying their habitats🙂
Edit : you may forget the link between bats and covid -19.. but incidents like these help us in reinforcing our memory. So will readymade content work for everyone? Maybe..maybe not. This is an easier way to remember the facts in a context. I hope I make sense.

✅GS1- Art and culture

✅GS3- Economic growth
✅GS4- Ethics
✅GS-2 Health- Mental health
🔴Very Imp perspective for Essay and Interview
🔵Q) Do actors deserve the kind of importance they get in the society?
This question has varied interpretations- But the question is this- How come actors and cricketers get the kind of importance nobody else gets and WHY IS OUR SOCIETY OKAY WITH it?
Personal perspective : It is because without arts, there is no human progress- If we look at history- whenever societies flourished- arts flourished. So the level of encouragement for arts in a society is a sign of happiness in that society. Arts are a yardstick for our mental health. During times of COVID lockdown it would be so much worse without the arts for common public.
That is the reason why the deaths of Irffan Khan and Rishi Kapoor affects people .
Though this article is Not directly related to UPSC- forming opinions is important for the exam. What is your perspective on this issue?
