Summary

Chapter 6 examines the allocation of parentage in cases of surrogacy. The chapter seeks to identify a way to regulate surrogacy that adheres to the best interests principle and balances the interests and needs of all stakeholders in the process. It is suggested that an intention-based model of surrogacy, which is facilitated through a pre-conception allocation of parentage, satisfies the requirements of the best interests principle.
