WA to approve surrogacy
Sunday, July 27, 2008
Western Australia’s Upper House has passed a Bill allowing surrogacy, for medically infertile women or those deemed incapable of full-term pregnancies, joining NSW and the ACT as the only States allowing surrogacy.
Western Australian Attorney-General Jim McGinty is reported as saying that passage through the Lower House, due on August 12, is a formality.
The Bill requires the surrogate mother to be over 25 and already have a child of her own.
