This paper offers a comprehensive review of the gestational surrogacy process in the US, as well as internationally, focusing on the legal and ethical challenges that gestational carriers, intended parents, fertility providers, and OB/GYNs may face. The objective of this review article is to serve as an overview and provide information on legal, cultural, and ethical aspects of the decisions to pursue gestational surrogacy both for intended parents and gestational carriers in the US and globally. By understanding the surrogacy landscape and the obstacles, the surrogacy agencies and other involved parties can improve the surrogacy process to better serve all parties involved.

Ethical considerations on surrogacy†.
Hum Reprod

Surrogacy is the assisted reproductive technology (ART) practice in which a person becomes pregnant, carries, and delivers a child on behalf of another couple/person, who are the intended parent(s). Surrogacy is an especially complex practice as the interests of the intended parents, the gestational carrier, and the future child may differ. This paper considers ethical questions related to different forms of surrogacy.

In this article I explore the dual impact of framing egg donation and surrogacy as work in Ukraine's fertility market. Egg donors, surrogates, and ART professionals use the labor narrative to legitimize these practices, albeit with differing aims. Women emphasize their economic role as worker-mothers, demanding fair treatment and recognition, while clinics employ the framework to market surrogates and donors and hold them accountable for outcomes.

Study Question: Does exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution prior to oocyte retrieval or subsequent frozen embryo transfer (FET) affect the odds of live birth?
Summary Answer: Live birth rates are lower when particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) levels are higher prior to oocyte retrieval, regardless of the conditions at the time of embryo transfer.
What Is Known Already: Exposure to air pollution is associated with adverse reproductive outcomes, including reduced fecundity and ovarian reserve, and an increased risk of infertility and pregnancy loss.
Immune profiling of ART-conceived children in Kazakhstan: a case-control study.

November 2024
Department of Assisted Reproductive Technologies, International Clinical Centre of Reproduction "PERSONA", Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Objective: The increasing use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has led to a growing interest in the health outcomes of offspring. However, the impact of ART on the immune system of children remains poorly understood. While only two publications were found, their findings contradict each other and did not consider other risk factors in their analysis except for ART use.

Article Synopsis
- Surrogacy in Nigeria allows couples facing infertility to have children through a surrogate who carries the pregnancy, gaining popularity compared to adoption.
- There are two types of surrogacy: gestational, where embryos are created via IVF, and traditional, using the surrogate's own egg; however, it presents challenges including medical, ethical, and legal issues impacting the newborns.
- The case report of preterm triplets emphasizes the necessity for better regulation in surrogacy practices, as challenges included feeding issues, lack of appropriate care, and obtaining necessary legal consents for the infants.
