Surrogacy and the Law

Katarina Trimmings (University of Aberdeen), Sharon Shakargy (Hebrew University of Jerusalem) and Claire Achmad (Universiteit Leiden) edited Research Handbook on Surrogacy and the Law.

Published by Edward Elgar in its Research Handbooks in Family Law series, the book provides a multifaceted exploration of surrogacy and the law, examining a variety of critical yet under-researched perspectives including globalisation, power, gender, sexual orientation, genetics, human rights and family relations.

The book consists of four parts, respectively devoted to surrogacy and rights, the interplay between surrogacy and different areas of the law, cross-border dimensions, and regional perspectives.

Three contributions specifically address the cross-border aspects of surrogacy: Surrogacy in private international law, by Sharon Shakargy; Surrogacy and the Hague Conference on Private International Law, by Laura Martínez-Mora; and Nationality and immigration obstacles in cross-border surrogacy arrangements, by Michael Wells-Greco.
