Bioethical issues and legal frameworks of surrogacy: A global perspective about the right to health and dignity
2021, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :Unfortunately, the signing of a convention would leave the bioethical discrepancies unresolved, favouring only agreements between permissive nations. For this reason, a principle of “soft law” is considered inapplicable as it is inadequate to solve the specific problems of the matter [117–123]. Therefore, national and international law should guarantee global regulatory coverage ensuring the freedom of each individual country to decide whether to ban or allow surrogacy.
Cross-border reproductive care in the USA: Who comes, why do they come, what do they purchase?
2020, Reproductive Biomedicine and Society OnlineCitation Excerpt :The majority of these out-of-country patients/clients seek standard IVF (as do most US residents); however, foreign patients/clients are more likely than US residents to utilize complicated (and socially controversial) ART services, such as compensated oocyte donation, commercial surrogacy and PGS/PGD (Hughes and DeJean, 2010; Levine et al., 2017). The desire to access services unavailable in home domiciles, to circumvent legal restrictions or bureaucratic hurdles, and to ‘speed up’ a lengthy process have been cited as the primary reasons why people seek CBRC (Ahuja, 2015; Crockin, 2011; Gurtin and Inhorn, 2011). As others have noted, the political, social, legal and cultural context of the sending country shapes the particular services accessed by CBRC clients (Martin, 2015; Stuvoy, 2018).
Intended parents' motivations and information and support needs when seeking extraterritorial compensated surrogacy
2015, Reproductive BioMedicine OnlineCitation Excerpt :The term ‘cross-border reproductive care’ (CBRC) is used to describe the practice of couples or individuals crossing national or state borders to access assisted reproductive treatment that is illegal, unaffordable or unavailable in their home jurisdiction (Crockin, 2011).
Motivations and experiences of patients seeking cross-border reproductive care: The Australian and New Zealand context
2014, Fertility and SterilityCitation Excerpt :At present there is jurisdictional variation across states of Australia on matters of donor conception and with regard to surrogacy arrangements, each with substantive requirements and preconception preparatory processes (30, 32). From a legal perspective only 32.6% of respondents in our study reported accessing any form of legal advice with respect to their overseas treatment decisions, further highlighting duty of care issues and raising the potential for legal challenges and ramifications (14, 15). For instance, those participants partaking in an international surrogacy arrangement may face obstacles with regard to defining their legal relationship with the resulting child.
