PARTIES OF THE CONTRACT OF SURROGATORY MATERNITY

Rannyaya Diana

Abstract

The development of science and technology in the modern world affects all aspects of human life. So, in connection with the emergence of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART), the current concept of kinship is increasingly being questioned. In the process of assisted reproduction, biological materials are often used not only by people who wish to become parents, but also by other people (donors of sperm, ovum, etc.). That is, persons who are duly registered as parents of a child conceived with the help of ART may not have any biological or genetic relationship with them at all. One type of ART is surrogate motherhood. Surrogate motherhood is the bearing and birth of a child (including premature birth) under a contract concluded between a surrogate mother (a woman who fetuses a fetus after carrying a donor embryo) and potential parents whose sex cells were used for fertilization or a single woman for whom bearing and the birth of a child is impossible for medical reasons. The article reveals the concepts of the parties to surrogate motherhood as a public relation and as participants in the surrogate motherhood contract.
