Surrogacy Regulation Act (UK)

The Surrogacy Regulation Act in the UK is a law designed to govern surrogacy arrangements, which is when a woman carries a baby for someone else who wants to become a parent. The act establishes a framework for surrogacy agreements, ensuring they are clear, safe, and ethical. It focuses on the rights of all parties involved—the surrogate, the intended parents, and the child. The law aims to address legal complexities, protect the welfare of everyone, and ensure that surrogacy is a positive experience. This act emphasizes clear consent and establishes legal parentage for intended parents after birth.
