Commercial Surrogacy - Under the spotlight

SURROGACY LAWS

The debate about surrogacy laws, commercial and altruistic continues with the latest development being the Chief Justices of the Family Court and Federal Circuit Court calling for legislative action by the Federal Government.

It would be a sensible approach to have the Commonwealth legislate comprehensive surrogacy laws to ensure the same law applied Australia wide.  The adhoc approach of the States and the failure to consider commercial surrogacy has forced prospective parents to overseas jurisdictions where there is little control over the process, placing all involved at risk.  Whilst it is a controversial issue it should not be ignored.  The unusual public call by the Chief Justices evidences a real need for reform.  Lets hope someone is listening.
