"...Rae painstakingly analyzes all sides of these two issues. He is fair-minded and writes in a lucid style. The book concludes with an analysis of current surrogacy law as promulgated in the courts and state legislatures. Rae also includes his own legislative proposal. Recommended for all libraries; appropriate for readers of all levels." Choice, "The book presents a consistent and reasonable argument. It is useful for its efficient review of ethical arguments and case law and for its supposition that state regulation is tenable."- Ethics, "...whether or not readers agree with Rae's conclusion, they will find here a comprehensive, serious analysis of one of today's most complex social issues.

Introduction The Legal Tradition of Procreative Liberty The Ethics of Commercial Surrogacy Parental Rights and the Definition of Motherhood in Surrogacy Moral Analysis of Current Surrogacy Law Conclusion: Legislative Proposal for Surrogate Motherhood Bibliography Index
Synopsis
This study addresses the two most controversial issues in surrogate motherhood: the commercial aspect of the practice and the issue of parental rights. After setting the legal and moral backdrop of procreative liberty in general, Rae argues that commercial surrogacy is the moral equivalent of baby-selling and should be prohibited. Add to this the potential for exploitation of the surrogate in practices that are already in motion and it is not hard to see the potential for harm to the parties involved. The book concludes with a survey of state and international law to date on surrogacy and a sample legislative proposal that could be adopted by states that are currently deliberating the issues. The commercial aspect of surrogacy makes it a potentially profitable business, not only for the surrogates but also for the brokers who facilitate the arrangements. This book promotes careful forethought, a reconsideration of definitions of parenthood, and a thorough examination of cases past and pending.
