Surrogate Motherhood: World Experience and Practice of Legal Regulation

The article examines the issues of reproductive technologies, both at the national and international level; positive and negative aspects of activities in this area. Various limitations in the field under consideration (for example, the choice of gender), factors affecting the quality, level of health and life expectancy of a person are considered. The possibility of reconfiguration of traditional kinship positions in the course of biotechnologically mediated childbearing is noted. From the authors’ point of view, possible solutions are proposed, including legislative ones that can transform the situation under consideration in a positive way.
