‘This Research Handbook is a welcome and important contribution to the fast-changing field of the law of surrogacy. Bringing together experts from around the globe, it provides not only national and regional perspectives but also, and perhaps more importantly, highlights the connections of surrogacy with other areas of law and especially human rights as well as the cross-border dimensions of surrogacy. It thus delivers a highly stimulating package of contemporary information and debate for anyone who is interested in this area of law.’
