What are the best interests of the child in international surrogacy?

As the surrogacy industry grows, so too do calls from parts of the consumer lobby, fertility industry and others for a loosening of international and domestic restraints on surrogacy arrangements. A consequence of this is the potential marginalisation of the best interests of children. Last month a roundtable was convened by the Project Group on Assisted Reproduction (PROGAR) and funded by the Society for Reproductive and Infant Psychology (SRIP), to discuss this issue.
