Surrogacy in czech republic

The conference addressed to the beneficial effects of legalization of alternative methods for human reproduction, i.e. to the issues of surrogate motherhood was held on June 5, 2009, in the town of Konopiste, Zech Republic.

As it was agreed upon between the experts explicitly, such methods were to be solely used according to specific medical indications (such as inborn or evoked uterus damage, heart diseases, etc., since any such disease might pose a threat to the health of a pregnant mother, fetus, etc.), but not for the benefit of women who would prefer to have a recourse to surrogacy programs by any social reason: unwillingness to terminate their career, fear of labor (delivery), and so on.

Simultaneously, many people open fire against commercialization of surrogate motherhood programs. Motivations of a decision to become a surrogate mother must be taken into account.

At all events, final decisions in respect of babies will be made by surrogate mothers, even if they stand in contradiction to the interests of genetic parents.

The only bar to the application of such reproductive medicine method is that no laws have still been passed in the Zech Republic, which would regulate the aspects of surrogate motherhood, and childless couples may not find a way of getting a child of their own.
