LEGALISATION OF SURROGACY

THIS SURVEY IS ONLY DEALING WITH A SURROGATE THAT HAS NO BLOOD TIE TO THE CHILD. Surrogacy is illegal in most European countries, so many couples travel to Asia to avail of this service. As there is no legislation in place, the biological mother has no legal rights to a child born from surrogacy.The surrogate mother is seen to be the child`s legal guardian, even though they have no biological link. Gestational surrogacy (also known as host or full surrogacy) takes place when an embryo created by in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology is implanted in a surrogate, sometimes called a gestational carrier. Gestational surrogacy may take a number of forms, but in each form the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the surrogate: The embryo is created using the intended father's sperm and the intended mother's eggs. The resulting child is genetically related to both intended parents.
