In this article:

The most controversial topics for talking and debate all over the globe is surrogacy. Surrogacy has been banned by the Bioethics Act since 1994 in France. The Majority supports the legalization of this meth of treatment for both heterosexual and homosexual couples.

Law


Many European states restrict such methods, arguing that such prohibitions violate dignity and maternity rights. One of these States is France. The rest ART methods have been practicing for more than 3 decades. Every 30th child in France is born as a sequence to them.
Legislation allows practice these technologies only for the medication of heterosexual partners on the chance when it is impossible to beget a child naturally, and spouses have a corresponding health certificate.
At the end of 2019, a new draft law on bioethics was submitted for consideration in France, which would allow the use of IVF also for single women and lesbian couples. The updated law is expected to be adopted in 2020.
The new law was opposed by the Catholic Church and about 20 French associations that protect family values. Opponents of the new legislation fear that any changes being made in the law will open the door for the legalization of surrogacy

France forbids surrogacy, so infertile French couples often go to Ukraine seeking out a clinic that oversees such programs.

 

Hundreds of foreign infertile couples come to Ukrainian ART clinics every year in search of surrogate mothers.

  • tests and examinations
  • IVF protocol
  • medical preparations
  • payment of related expenses to surrogate mothers
  • pregnancy support
  • childbirth

The final program cost is negotiated with the spouses in advance and is fixed in the agreement. VittoriaVita (the agency that organizes and oversees surrogacy programs) submits comprehensive feature packages in the price range with 36,000 to 50,000 Euros.
