Over the past 10 years, a convergence of scientific, demographic,
legal and social developments has led to a significant influx of
cases of international surrogacy. What was previously a marginal
form of parenthood has become a multi-billion dollar industry,
raising concerns for surrogate mothers, commissioning parents, and
children alike. Lawyers, philosophers and health care professionals
have struggled to formulate a framework to ensure the protection of
surrogate mothers from exploitation, whilst combatting the
vulnerability of commissioning parents to agencies and
intermediaries, and providing children born as a result of this
practice with certainty regarding their identity, status, and
nationality.The transnational nature of the issues raised in
relation to international surrogacy agreements means that
individual states have struggled to take decisive action, and there
remains a myriad of different responses to this issue. This book
brings together experts from Eastern and Western backgrounds, to
consider the way in which different jurisdictions have responded to
surrogacy, both within their own borders, and when an international
agreement takes place involving one of their citizens. Each chapter
includes a discussion of the laws concerning the establishment and
contestation of legal parentage through surrogacy under domestic
law; the rules and laws concerning surrogacy arrangements on a
domestic level; and approaches to recognition of legal parenthood
acquired through surrogacy in other jurisdictions. In addition, the
chapters consider the socio-economic context of surrogacy in the
chosen jurisdictions, through questions concerning the profile of
surrogate mothers and commissioning parents, the involvement of
intermediaries, and the nature of the interactions between these
parties. In this way, the book provides a comprehensive
understanding of the confluences and tensions in the way surrogacy
is approached in these jurisdictions, and seeks to identify trends
emerging from these different regions.In doing so, Eastern and
Western Perspectives on Surrogacy seeks to contribute to the
greater understanding of the regulation of surrogacy throughout the
world, and will serve as a reference work for anyone involved in
practice, academia or law reform in this subject area.
