Surrogacy podcast with Rayyin & Partners, Beijing

Thursday, May 18, 2017


Last week I had the joy of taking part with a Chinese colleague, Hao Wang in a podcast about surrogacy.  Hao is a partner in RayYin & Partners, a prominent Beijing law firm.  Hao specialises in family law matters (including children and property) including overseas trust planning.  She has spoken and been published widely concerning family law and trust law.
It was quite extraordinary to attend at her office in Beijing and then to take part in a podcast to talk about surrogacy.  Hao introduced me in Chinese.  During the introduction the only words I understood were surrogacy and Stephen Page.  We then participated in a long interview in which I gave an overview about surrogacy and international egg and sperm donation including that available to Chinese citizens, and then we had the wrap up thank you – again in Chinese and again the only words I understood were surrogacy and Stephen Page!  
One of Hao’s interns will have the joyful task of translating my words into Chinese characters, a task which is somewhat difficult given some of the necessarily technical terms that are involved with surrogacy.  It was an honour and a privilege to take part in the podcast.

Sperm Donor Family Limit Queensland: The Real Rule

Queensland’s new sperm donor family limit was intended to create clarity, consistency and better access to donor sperm. Instead, guidance issued to IVF clinics has produced a result that appears to halve donor access for many lesbian couples. The legislation provides for a 10-family limit. Yet where two women are in a couple and seek… Read More »Sperm donor family limit in Queensland explained

NSW Fertility Inquiry: Surrogacy Evidence Under Fire

NSW fertility inquiry: surrogacy evidence under scrutiny

The New South Wales Legislative Council fertility inquiry is examining difficult and practical questions about access to assisted reproductive treatment. Distance matters. Cost matters.
