The first successful in vitro artificial fertilization with subsequent extracorporeal fertilization took place in England in 1978 resulting in birth of famous Louise Brown, the first in vitro child!

Use of extracorporeal fertilization, bearing and birth by a substitute mother of a child fully genetically alien to her (gestational or full surrogate motherhood first succeeded in USA in 1986.

More than two million in vitro children were born in the world during 30 years that passed after Louise Brown birth.

Surrogacy today.

The medical constituent of the surrogate motherhood program has been intensely developing for all these years and now it is being realized at the highest technological level – now physicians need not take 600 attempts of the extracorporeal fertilization, which were taken to make possible birth of Louise Brown. The legal constituent of the surrogacy motherhood Program remains so far insufficiently settled in many countries.

For example, surrogacy motherhood is prohibited by law in Austria, Germany, Norway, Sweden, France and some states of the USA. Attraction of surrogate mothers for infertility treatment is not governed by law at all in Belgium, Greece, Ireland, Finland, though it is practiced.

Some countries only allow non-commercial surrogacy motherhood when the surrogate mother gets no fee, and advertising of surrogacy motherhood and search for surrogate mothers are prohibited. Such is the legislation of Australia, the UK, Denmark, Israel, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands and some states of the USA.

Non-commercial surrogate motherhoodis more acceptable for those couples who have to advert to artificial fertilization methods since the services of reproduction clinics are rather expensive. And at the same time anyone has a right to satisfy his or her interests, so a surrogate mother has a right for gratitude for her help.
