Human Reproduction Technologies and Contracting for a Baby in Canada:

Abstract: This 7 page report discusses social and legal issues associated with new reproductive technologies such as surrogate mother arrangements and in-vitro fertilization. Is it possible to write a commercial contract for a baby? Can a man buy his own child? Who owns the frozen embryos of a dead woman; can they be willed to third parties? The new reproductive technologies that enable infertile couples to have offspring raise a host of legal issues. In addition, family definitions, best interests of children, and personal civil rights must all be considered. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
