Global Surrogacy Practices

Global surrogacy practices involve a woman (the surrogate) agreeing to carry a pregnancy for intended parents, often from different countries, using either her own or donor eggs and sperm. Regulations vary widely by country; some have strict laws, while others have more permissive or unregulated systems. These practices can provide options for individuals unable to conceive naturally, but they also raise legal, ethical, and contractual considerations regarding parental rights, compensation, and the well-being of all parties involved. It’s essential for intended parents to navigate these practices carefully, ensuring compliance with local laws and ethical standards.
