Surrogacy Laws

Paper Summary:

This paper focuses on the differences between surrogacy laws in the United States and the much less restrictive surrogacy laws in the United Kingdom. The paper suggests that the differences between the laws are significant enough to warrant thorough investigation into the reason for these differences. The paper also looks at the problem that surrogacy in some countries may be used for the commercialization or selling of women's bodies. The paper points out that this must also be investigated so that laws that might be deemed very dangerous and detrimental to these surrogate mothers can be changed if necessary. Additionally, the paper points out that laws that are not as restrictive are particularly in question, since this might allow for a larger degree of commercialization, which can make the whole process suspect.

From the Paper:

"The literature into the issue of surrogacy is quite significant, especially when one is working to compare the laws of two different countries. For ease of understanding, the laws of the US will be discussed, followed by the laws of the UK. The actual comparison of the laws is something that will be dealt with in the data analysis that will be done in Chapter Four of the final study. The purpose of this brief review of the literature is only to give an understanding of the differences that are seen between the laws in the two countries and therefore show why an examination of them is actually necessary."
