Surrogacy In Canada
Potential Problems Associated with Surrogacy
A Briefing Paper prepared for The Assisted Human Reproduction Agency
Surrogacy in Canada is a legal alternative for those who have had difficulty creating a family on their own. Recent media report (Staff Reporter’s 2011, Toronto Star 2011) has reported a case that a 20 year-old girl poses with the twin boy and girl she delivered June 28. After agreeing to be a surrogate mother for an infertile British couple, She was left with the babies when they split up. It has raised concerns among the public about potential problems associated with the use of Assisted Human Reproduction.

the child they are carrying but this is a misconception. These concerns have primarily centered on the contract between the surrogate mom and infertile couple, but issue has also been raised about the psychologically problems and social evaluation of the child and surrogate mother. Given the concerns over this issue, I was tasked with researching the literature to determine whether the current act of the assisted human reproduction should be amended with respect to promoting this high controversial technology use.
Last December, the federal Supreme Court ruled that provinces do have exclusive authority to regulate fertility clinics, license doctors, reimburse sperm and egg donors.
The court’s ruling means the federal government is unable to license fertility doctors, explains Levitan, leaving intended parents and surrogate mothers largely dependent on lawyers to ensure they stay within fertility regulations. It took more than 8 years and 28 million dollars of Canadian taxpayers money to adopt this reproductive legislation! Assisted Human Reproduction Canada (AHRC) was established in Vancouver on January 12, 2006, to administer and enforce the Assisted Human Reproduction Act (AHR), which became law in March 2004. Although the act regulates the use of assisted human reproduction, there is no acts protect the privacy, give psychological support, and promote the social cognition to assisted human reproduction technique. The ethnical problems always come with those who are misinformed about the surrogacy process. People often misunderstand things they don’t understand or if they feel it have nothing to do with them. However, given the lack of health clinic support, it is hard to guarantee the right to the baby who are born with assisted human reproduction. In short, it is a long term to gain the social recognition and
support.
