Regardless of their partiality to external regulation, a number of major fertility professional bodies, such as the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, British Fertility Society, European Society for Human Reproduction and Embryology, and the Fertility Society of Australia, nevertheless recognise that responsible fertility care involves paying due regard to the interests of fertility patients, donors (in this case also including surrogates) and children born as a result of fertility procedures. While there will continue to be debate about the precise parameters of such interests (for example, whether the interests of children born as a result of fertility procedures can be secured where they are prevented from knowing the identity of genetic parents or where their conception has been the result of a commercial transaction), there should be little argument with the fundamental principle of 'First do no harm'. Most surrogacy arrangements involve gestational surrogacy and are therefore dependent on the services of an IVF clinic, with attendant professional staff.
