Hmms... surely laws should be in place for this kind of thing.

Surrogacy isn't exactly 'new'.

I personally would class the woman who provided the eggs to be the biological mother, as the surrogate is merely an 'incubator' and is actually providing a service to the actual mother.

In the case where people use donated eggs for fertility (sometimes from anonymous donors), I would class the woman who carries the child as the biological mother, as the eggs were donated, to provide a service.. if you get me..

It's really weird that there is so much arguing going on about this. The lawmakers need to just make a law and stick to it, then people would know exactly where they stand before they go in for a surrogacy agreement



Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the sister doesn't want to be listed as the mother, so it isn't her who is keeping this argument going is it? Basically a bunch of stuffed suits are wasting taxpayers money by arguing back and forth about something that really isn't any of their damn business.

This opens up a whole can of worms for a surrogate who decides after the fact that she wants to be listed as the mother.. and have maternal rights etc... Oh, this is not good.. they need to tighten up the laws and have one rule for all.
