Surrogacy laws in Elezia

Jump to navigation Jump to search

The legal treatment of surrogacy varies acutely from country to country in Elezia. Surrogacy agreements are fully enforceable in some countries while deemed criminal in others, and additional factors such as the presence of profit motive, the features of the receiving couple, or the unrelatedness of the consenting parties can alter the lawfulness of the accord. In countries where surrogacy is allowed, further legal issues pertaining to the paternity of the child can arise, especially in regards to non-gestational surrogacy.
