Thailand Surrogacy and IVF
Surrogacy births provide an alternative method for having children. A couple may choose a surrogate to give birth to their child for a number of reasons. Although medical technology has made great advances in the field of LVF pregnancies and surrogate births. The development of the law in these areas has unfortunately lagged behind. The practice of surrogacy can pose complicated legal issues, particularly when the surrogate mother is in a country other than where the intending parents hold citizenship.
Surrogacy in Thailand
Thailand currently has no laws or published case decisions directly relating to the practice of surrogacy. There are agencies and health clinics that openly engage in locating surrogate mothers and egg donors. Nevertheless, LVF implantation, egg donation and surrogacy are relatively new areas of medicine and Thailand’s Medical Council has taken a cautious and conservative approach. These practices are still in the legal and medical “grey area”.
