Assisted reproduction, surrogacy laws challenged

Suzanna Scorsone, Royal Commission member for five years, says, "Surrogacy for hire would set a dangerous precedent because it would, in effect, legalize a form of child trafficking."

A private member’s bill that would decriminalize the purchase of sperm, eggs and rent-a-womb surrogacy would open the door to exploitation of poor women and legalize a form of child trafficking, according to a member of the 1990s Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies.
