  surrogate mother - HighBeam Encyclopedia
SURROGATE MOTHER [surrogate mother] a woman who agrees, usually by contract and for a fee, to bear a child for a couple who are childless because the wife is infertile or physically incapable of carrying a developing fetus.
Often the surrogate mother is the biological mother of the child, conceiving it by means of artificial insemination with sperm from the husband.
In gestational surrogacy, the wife is fertile but incapable of carrying a growing fetus; the child is conceived by in vitro fertilization using the wife's eggs and her husband's sperm, and the resulting embryo is implanted in the surrogate mother's uterus.

 Surrogacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A surrogate mother is a woman who carries a child for a couple or single person with the intention of giving that child to that person/people once the being is born (also called surrogate pregnancy).
The surrogate mother may be the baby's biological mother (traditional surrogacy) or she may be implanted with someone else's fertilized egg (gestational surrogacy).
The most famous case of surrogacy was the Baby M case, in which the surrogate mother refused to surrender the child she had borne in 1986 to the child's biological father.

 Surrogate mother - egg donor lawyer for contracts - courtroom: all surrogate motherhood - egg donation legal help   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
However, given the way the Buzzanca court explained Moschetta, where the surrogate does not claim she is the mother, the California trial courts have consistently followed the intentions of the parties by declaring that the single man is the sole parent and the surrogate is not the mother.
In the absence of an egg donation from a separate woman, if the surrogate changes her mind and claims she is the mother of the child, the single man would have a harder time arguing that rights are "tied" between anyone.
A safer alternative is to establish the traditional surrogate's intention to "donate her egg" as well as to serve as a surrogate before the insemination.

 AMA (Professionalism) E-2.18 Surrogate Mothers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Surrogate motherhood may commodify children and women's reproductive capacities, exploit poor women whose decision to participate may not be wholly voluntary, and improperly discourage or interfere with the formation of a natural maternal-fetal or maternal-child bond.
On the other hand, surrogate motherhood arrangements are often the last hope of prospective parents to have a child that is genetically related to at least one of them.
In gestational surrogacy, in which the surrogate mother has no genetic tie to the fetus, the justification for allowing the surrogate mother to void the contract becomes less clear.

 Surrogate Parenting
Surrogate parenting involves a woman bearing the child of another woman who is not in a position to bear children as a result of blocked fallopian tubes or lack of a uterus.
To be a surrogate mother is, so to say, "leasing her womb", for the child that one gives birth to does not "legally" become one's own but is the child of the couple who pays the surrogate mother for that particular purpose.
A child born under the surrogate contract would be illegitimate in the Shari’ah since the contracting husband had not entered into matrimonial contract with the surrogate mother who gave birth to the child.

The word surrogate means substitute or replacement - and a surrogate mother is one who lends her uterus to another couple so that they can have a baby.
In this case, the surrogate is inseminated artificially by the husband's sperm.
More commonly, the infertile woman provides the egg, which is then either transferred to the surrogate mother by GIFT along with her husband's sperm; or fertilised in vitro by IVF with her husband's sperm and an embryo transfer performed to the surrogate's uterus, which then acts as an incubator for the next nine months.
