What is surrogacy?
Surrogacy, when an individual carries and gives birth for another person or a couple, is an established and legal pathway to starting a family in the UK, on the proviso that it is carried out on an altruistic (non-profit making) basis. One of the most common misconceptions around surrogacy is that it is illegal. Some aspects are, such as advertising for or as a surrogate, and financial gains to third parties but it is only 'commercial surrogacy' that is prohibited in the UK, in the Surrogacy Arrangements Act 1985. Controversies surrounding ethical frameworks often stem from these misconceptions and other misunderstood aspects of surrogacy and related laws (Horsey et al 2022). Surrogacy is becoming increasingly common in the UK and, with proposed changes to the law published this year (Law Commission and Scottish Law Commission 2023), the lack of guidance available to maternity services on which to base their service provisions has become more noticeable than ever. With midwives and health care professionals having a duty to provide dignified care that recognises diversity and individual choice (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) 2015, updated 2018), working in partnership to deliver effective care is challenged by a deficiency of clear guidelines and pathways. There are two types of surrogacy: 'traditional surrogacy', when the surrogate provides their own eggs to achieve the pregnancy and 'gestational surrogacy', when the pregnancy is achieved by a transfer of embryos into the uterus of the surrogate, usually created by using the gametes of one or more intended parent (IP) or a donor (Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) 2021). |
