Until now, many countries, such as Austria, Germany, France, Sweden, Norway, surrogacy is prohibited by law. In other countries, such as Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Greece, surrogacy, while not prohibited, but not regulated in terms of the existing legislation in those countries.
There is another group of countries, such as Great Britain, Denmark, Spain, Israel, the Netherlands, Australia, Canada, where advertising is banned surrogacy motherhood and search for surrogate mothers, however, allowed non-commercial surrogate motherhood - in which the surrogate mother receives no financial remuneration.

What is surrogacy?

Surrogacy - this assisted reproductive technology, by which a woman voluntarily agrees to the bearing and birth biologically alien to her child. After the baby is born, it will be given to the education of the genetic parents. They will be considered by his parents, despite the fact that he carried and gave birth to a surrogate mother.
The history of this phenomenon go back to ancient times. Known situation resembling surrogacy. The ancient Jews childless women resorted to the help of the maids, who gave birth to the child of the husband of a woman. But first on his hands he took the wife, showing thus its indisputable right to the baby.
For the first time about the surrogacy agreement, it became known in 1980. The first surrogate is a 37-year-old resident of the United States, Elizabeth Kane. After the birth of the child, the family, has concluded with the woman contracted, paid her a cash reward.
Nowadays wage motherhood - a phenomenon quite common. Despite the fact that the price of surrogacy rather big, it resorted to the ordinary people and famous. So, surrogacy services were used by such well-known as Nicole Kidman, Michael Jackson, Ricky Martin, Elton John, Alena Apina.

Supporters of surrogacy argue that a childless family - this is the only way to get a child genetically native to both spouses. After all, if adopt a child from an orphanage, it is likely that it will take the bad quality of the biological parents and the use of surrogate motherhood is no longer such a possibility.
Laws governing surrogacy in different countries are different. France, Australia, Norway, Sweden, Germany surrogacy is banned completely. In Belgium, Greece, Spain, Finland, this phenomenon is not regulated, but it actually takes place. In Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and most US states surrogacy, including commercial, is permitted.
Good or bad surrogacy decide each for himself. But, perhaps, in our country in childless couples will be able to become parents.
