Abstract

Gestational surrogacy is a treatment option available to women with certain medical problems, usually an absent uterus or severely abnormal uterus, to help them have their own genetic children.  IVF allows the creation of embryos from the gametes of the commissioning couple and subsequent transfer of these embryos to the uterus of a surrogate mother.  The indications for this treatment expanded to patients with recurrent miscarriage, repeated failure of IVF and certain medical conditions.  The process of treatment is straightforward and follows routine ART procedures.  Gestational surrogacy is one of the main issues at optimizing bioethics and the advanced reproductive technologies, representing an important challenge to medical law.
