allow the use of eggs from surrogate mothers to avoid conflict of childûs

custody. On the other hand, the process of gestational surrogacy is activated
by a different method. The intended family (intended mother) or the donor will

be the provider of an egg which is fertilized through in vitro fertilization (IVF)

and then placed inside the surrogate mother which always takes place in a
(14)
fertility clinic. In other words, the surrogate mother, therefore, does not use
her own eggs and is genetically unrelated to the baby. Therefore, the process

(15)
is considered more complicated and expensive than straight surrogacy.

In the case that the intended parent requests the fertilization by the

egg of the donor, children born through egg donation have the legal right to
(16)
receive information about the egg donor when they turn 18. As a result,
it is illegal for the egg donor to get paid apart from reasonable expenses. Egg

donation for a commercial purpose is only available in some countries, but it
(17)
is illegal in some such as the UK and France. Under the previous legal

Further, there are three stages to ùhostû surrogacy: Egg donation: the female IP, or the egg
donor, undergo special procedures to extract a number of eggs, Fertilization: the egg is
fertilized with semen in the lab, Transfer: the fertilized egg is transferred into the womb

of the surrogate mother. The fertilized egg can be transferred to the surrogate either ùfreshû
or after having been de-frosted from egg storage.† For a fresh egg transfer the monthly
cycles of the surrogate and the egg donor must be synchronized, and this is done using
hormone medications.† In cases where embryos have been frozen already and the de-frosted
embryos are being transferred some IVF clinics will insist on the surrogate mother taking
hormone medications to prepare the readiness of her womb lining. çInformation from
