What Is Surrogacy?
Surrogacy is a reproductive technology in which three people participate in a child conception:
- a genetic father who provides his sperm for fertilization;
- a genetic mother who provides her egg for fertilization;
- a surrogate mother who agrees to carry a baby.
In most cases, this method is used when a couple is not able to have a child. Nowadays, surrogacy is one of the greatest achievements of humanity. Thanks to the latest medical technology, people who are doomed to childlessness still have an opportunity to give birth to a baby.
