What is the sub -manufactured gestation and government measures to hinder this practice
The Spanish government has strengthened its position against surrogate pregnancy with a new education of the Ministry of Justice which prevents the direct registration of minors born from this practice abroad. The measure, which will be published in the Boe, responds to the objective to close the legal escapades that have so far allowed to record these children on the basis of foreign judicial resolutions.
What is surrogate pregnancy?
Surrogate gestation, also known as “belly for rent”, is a practice for theThat a woman is a little girl for another person or coupleUsually through a contract. Although it has been forbidden in Spain since 2006, every year Dozens of Spaniards resort to this route in countries where he is legalLike the United States or Ukraine.
With the new regulations, it will no longer be sufficient to present a foreign sentence to record the child as a child in Spain. From now on, The progenitors must demonstrate a biological link through the genetic test or start a process of adoptionprovided that an adequate family environment is guaranteed. This education repeals the guidelines of 2010 and 2019 and is aligned with the sentence of the Supreme Court of December 2024, which has considered this practice contrary to public order for the reconstruction of women and the treatment of children as goods.
Regulatory change is part of an international context of the growing refusal of the subrogation. In March 2023, over 100 experts from 75 countries signed the Casablanca declaration to request their universal abolition. According to their drivers, the subrogation exploits the female body, uses vulnerable women and puts minors at risk. Despite its legalization in a few countries, the practice expands through agencies operating in a global market with almost no control.
Spain therefore increases the tendency of other European countries such as Germany or Italy, where the subrogation is also illegal. The executive seeks with this measure to protect fundamental rights and stop a company that, according to Casablanca’s declaration, converts the legitimate desire to be parents in an exploitation engine.
