Surrogacy arrangements are complex and can involve a range of social, emotional, medical, financial and legal issues. This book explains altruistic surrogacy and the law in Australia, and explores a range of concerns raised in response to the growing international commercial surrogacy industry. Should commercial surrogacy be legalised, and in the process better regulated? What are the rights of the surrogate mother and the child?
