Surrogacy motherhood provides an option for infertile couples to have a genetically
related child of their own. However, in jurisdictions where surrogacy motherhood are
not legally accepted, couples deliberately turn to other jurisdictions to conclude a
surrogacy agreement where it is in fact legal to do so. When different jurisdictions
are involved in one surrogacy motherhood agreement, several problems arise,
especially due to the lack of regulation on an international level. These poblems
must therefore be resolved by the implementation of an international document or
agreement.
This discussion will therefore firstly focus on the national position regarding
surrogacy motherhood in the South African content to determine whether South
Africa will benefit from the implementation of a proposed international document or
agreement. Secondly, the research focus on international surrogacy and evaluate
the concept to identify the problems arising as a result thereof. Thirdly, the contents
of the proposed international document or agreement will be discussed in depth in
order to determine what the contents of the document or agreement should include.
The aim of the research is to determine which issues and problems should be
included in the proposed document or agreement in order to effectively regulate
international surrogacy. / LLM (Comparative Child Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014
