Argentina surrogacy laws and legal parenthood
In Argentina, although surrogacy is not yet regulated, those couples who need it can achieve the family of their dreams through the process, and therefore it is not prohibited. Articles 16 and 19 of the Argentinean Constitution allow that no law can affect the intimate life of people and therefore it cannot affect the contract freely agreed by third parties.
It is important to know that surrogacy in Argentina is altruistic and therefore non-commercial, which means that the surrogate mother cannot obtain any type of compensation beyond the expenses that the pregnancy may cause her.
Regarding the legal part, the only essential requirement to start a surrogacy process is the signature of a previous, free, express and informed consent between the intended parents and the surrogate.
As for the requirements demanded by the fertility centers, they usually request a life insurance policy in the name of the surrogate mother and medical coverage to perform the necessary tests and controls during gestation and delivery. These extra measures are taken as a precaution to ensure the well-being of the pregnant woman during the whole process.
The legal objective of surrogacy is that the intended parents are those recognized by law as legal parents, for which the surrogate must not have any kind of link or affiliation with the newborn.
