Surrogó

Surrogó is a term that refers to a person who carries and gives birth to a child for another individual or couple. This arrangement is known as surrogacy. There are two main types of surrogacy: traditional surrogacy and gestational surrogacy. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother uses her own egg, which is fertilized by the sperm of the intended father or a donor. In gestational surrogacy, the surrogate mother carries an embryo that was created from the egg and sperm of the intended parents or donors, and is not biologically related to the child.

Surrogacy can be a complex process involving legal agreements, medical procedures, and emotional considerations for all parties involved. Intended parents may pursue surrogacy for various reasons, including infertility, medical conditions that prevent them from carrying a pregnancy, or same-sex partnerships. Surrogacy laws vary significantly by country and even by state or region within a country, impacting the legality and regulation of these arrangements. Ethical considerations surrounding surrogacy often involve discussions about the rights and well-being of the child, the surrogate mother, and the intended parents. The process typically involves extensive screening of the surrogate, legal contracts outlining responsibilities and parental rights, and medical monitoring throughout the pregnancy.
