Surrogacy law to be easedThe Department of Health Service Support (DHSS) is seeking to amend the law to allow commercial surrogacy which can help curb the illegal trading of babies. The amendment would also enable foreigners to obtain legal surrogacy services in Thailand, he said. Proposed criteria for women seeking to be legal surrogate mothers include them having been pregnant before. The current law also says that a couple seeking surrogacy must absorb the entire cost. The DHSS will also work to change a related law concerning the freezing of eggs, sperm or embryos, said the doctor.
