Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society webinar

Wednesday, June 15, 2016
This morning at 7am Brisbane time (5pm yesterday Toronto time) I had the privilege of speaking in a webinar to the Canadian equivalent to the Fertility Society of Australia- the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society- about Australian fertility and surrogacy law.

I told the attendees that demand by Australian intended parents for overseas egg donors was likely to remain, and that with or without the proposed reforms by the House of Representatives surrogacy inquiry, demand by Australian intended parents for Canadian surrogates is likely to increase.

Thank you to Sara Cohen for organising, and to Cindy Wasser for asking a couple of curly questions!
