CONNECT NY

The Legalization of Commercial Surrogacy

Season 6 Episode 5 | 56m 46sVideo has Closed Captions

A bill legalizing commercialized surrogacy in NYS prompts both support and concerns.

Prior to April’s passage of the commercial surrogacy bill, it was once law in New York state which prohibited gestational surrogacy -- which created legal uncertainty for parents using reproductive technology to conceive a child. Now with the ban lifted, what lies ahead for the state, and how will the bill ensure the protection for paid surrogates?
