Surrogate Childbirth

EDM number 447 in 1996-97, proposed by Tony Banks on 27/01/1997.

That this House is concerned at the development of surrogate childbirth; believes that whilst it is acceptable for surrogacy to be available in cases where natural conception and childbirth is not possible, it is unacceptable for surrogacy to be extended to commercial transactions or for the sake of personal convenience; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to allow a full debate on the moral and ethical implications of surrogacy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
