Surrogate motherhood is an arrangement in which a woman, known as a surrogate, carries and delivers a baby for another individual or couple who cannot conceive or carry a pregnancy themselves. This process can involve either traditional surrogacy, where the surrogate's own egg is used, or gestational surrogacy, where the embryo is created using the intended parents' or donors' egg and sperm. Surrogacy can be motivated by various factors, including medical issues, infertility, or same-sex couples seeking to start a family. Legal and ethical considerations often surround surrogacy agreements, varying by jurisdiction.
