Abstract

In the global context we live, it is becoming increasingly common for people (or parents-to-be) to travel abroad in order to access surrogacy despite the difficulties this may entail. In this paper the main problems arising from international surrogacy are analyzed. For this purpose, this article examines the guidelines developed from the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights and their impact on different States, the effects of the biological factor on these cases and the Argentinean situation.
