Genetic Surrogacy

Genetic surrogacy is a reproductive arrangement where a surrogate mother carries a baby for another individual or couple. In this process, the surrogate is usually implanted with an embryo created using the eggs and sperm of the intended parents or donors. This means the baby is genetically related to one or both of the intended parents, but not to the surrogate. Genetic surrogacy is often chosen by those facing infertility or health issues that make pregnancy risky. Legal and ethical considerations are important in this arrangement, ensuring the rights and responsibilities of all parties are respected.
