On January 18, 2021, Zhang Heng's revelations made the whole network discuss one thing that was Zheng Shuang's surrogacy and abandonment of the child after the breakup. I believe that this matter is very clear to everyone, so let's talk about surrogacy today. #代孕 #
Surrogacy refers to the act of fertile women using modern medical technology to conceive and give birth to others.
So is surrogacy against the law? In fact, in the past month, surrogacy-related topics have been on the hot search many times. First, Chen Kaige's "Baby" tore apart the ethical taboos and legal issues behind surrogacy, and brought the gray industrial chain of "paid surrogacy" to the public eye. Because the surrogacy is filmed too "warm", the short film has caused great controversy, and the people's court newspaper even reminds by name: China clearly prohibits surrogacy.
The people's court reported criticism by name
At present, there are two domestic and surrogacy-related laws and regulations, namely the former Ministry of Health's 2001 "Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Management Measures" and 2003 promulgated the "Human Assisted Reproductive Technology and Human Sperm Bank Ethical Principles", which clearly stipulates that "medical institutions and medical personnel shall not implement any form of surrogacy technology".
Decree of the Ministry of Health
However, it should be noted that the subjects prohibited by this law are medical institutions and medical personnel, not surrogacy technology itself. Even if the offender does not constitute a crime, he will only be punished with a warning and a fine of less than 30,000 yuan.
Even if there are laws and regulations in China, because the benefits of the surrogacy market are extremely large, there is a gray area between the impulse to "make babies" and the formulation and supervision of regulations, where business pervades everywhere. A vast industry is expanding wildly, and it has formed a very secret surrogacy kingdom.
In one example, a middle-aged and elderly woman chose to undergo surrogacy because her daughter suffered from infertility, and the price of surrogacy was 650,000 yuan in total, which is said to be the most preferential price that can be enjoyed.
According to the survey, this huge baby-producing kingdom has been refined into a clear production line: there are intermediaries responsible for finding surrogate mothers; there are also specialized practitioners in the egg donation market, competing to publish recruitment information on the Internet; and some people provide various medical instruments needed for surrogacy surgery. However, this industry, which is closely related to personal privacy, has been operating in a corner that ordinary people do not notice.
Domestic surrogacy has both health risks, legal risks and the risk of child competition, and I hope that the state can completely rectify this industry.
