Surrogacy

Surrogate motherhood is assisted reproductive technology, the application of which the woman voluntarily agrees to become pregnant in order to carry and give birth to her biological alien baby, who will then be given to the education of others is the genetic parents. They will be legally considered the child's parents, despite the fact that he carried and gave birth to a surrogate mother.

In many countries Surrogacy has been prohibited, the prohibition is however justifies through different ethical and moral concerns, for preventing children to become commodities traded as the merchandise between surrogate mothers and infertile couples, protecting the interest of the children that are psychologically at risk under such transaction, and also preventing the exploitation for surrogate mothers that needs relinquish parental rights for the child after his/her birth.
