On Legal Suggestions of China's Countermeasures against Surrogacy
Journal Title: Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
China should definitely prohibit surrogacy in law for at least three reasons. First, surrogacy is a serious violation of human nature which will hurt maternity. Second, surrogacy is a risky business that can do genuine harm to a woman’s body. Third, legalizing surrogacy is not a rational response to the present demand for surrogate mothers within China. There are some defects at present in China's law against surrogacy, which need rectification.
