NSW surrogacy review
Submitted by Penny on Mon, 11/08/2008 - 2:04pm.
Last week, the Attorney General announced a review of surrogacy laws in NSW. His announcement followed discussion at the meeting of the Standing Committee of Attorneys General (SCAG) about a proposed national model.
Surrogacy is complex issue that can invoke a lot of emotions, made more complicated by the fact that legislation differs around Australia. In NSW, commercial surrogacy is banned but altruistic surrogacy is unregulated. In Queensland, any form of surrogacy is proscribed, while other states and territories accept altruistic surrogacy. Surrogacy also raises important questions about parenting provisions and the content of birth certificates.
