Legal Aspects of Surrogacy Motherhood

Abstract

Sinisa Franjic

Surrogacy is a form of motherhood that is obtained through medically assisted insemination. Parents who cannot conceive due to health problems and want to start a family and same-sex couples decide on this act. Surrogacy often causes controversy in society because such an act should be performed without financial compensation. There is also the moral issue of the exploitation of women, which also raises numerous debates. In some countries of the world, surrogacy is prohibited, and in others it is regulated by law. Nowadays, an increasing number of couples go outside their home country if surrogacy is prohibited in their country in order to use this service and start a family with a child who is their biological offspring.
