Lecture at the University of Hong Kong about ART and surrogacy

Thursday, May 18, 2017



Last week I was extremely lucky to lecture undergraduate and post graduate students and academic staff at the University of Hong Kong.  This was in the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at the invitation of Professor Cecilia Chan.  Dr Chan is the Associate Dean (Community Projects) with the Faculty of Social Sciences.  She is also the Honorary Professor at the University of Hong Kong’s Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology where she amongst others provides counselling to intended parents about fertility issues. 
I lectured about the Australian and international landscape to do with ART, surrogacy and egg and sperm donation.  I spoke for about two hours. 
There were lots of questions!  I was told that typically at the University there aren’t many questions asked, as students listen to the lecturer and a good number of questions is a strong indication that those present were strongly engaged with the topic and interested.  On that basis, they were highly interested!
It was a lot of fun and a great honour and a privilege to attend and speak.
I have now been the guest lecturer at universities on four continents:
  • In Australia for Griffith University and its graduate legal diploma programme, and the similar College of Law practical legal training program for graduate intended lawyers.
  • At Arizona State University – about domestic violence.
  • At Western Cape University about international surrogacy and egg donation.

That move might be to another suburb, another regional town, another state, or overseas. These… Read More »Can I Move Away With My Child? Relocation Law in Australia

Legal Parentage Australia: IVF, Donors & Surrogacy

Who is a Parent By Stephen Page

The question sounds simple. Who is a parent? In law, it is anything but simple. Biology matters. Birth matters. Intention matters. Paperwork matters. State law matters. Federal law matters. Sometimes they line up neatly. Sometimes they collide in ways that leave families, lawyers and government departments wrestling with very uncomfortable uncertainty. That is especially true… Read More »Who is a Parent By Stephen Page

Posthumous Conception in Victoria: Law & Consent

Posthumous Conception in Victoria: Retrieval, Consent, and the Law

Posthumous conception cases in Victoria sit at the intersection of grief, medicine, and strict statutory rules. They are deeply personal matters, but they are also highly technical. Timing matters. Consent matters. Process matters. And one of the hardest truths for families is that retrieving eggs, sperm, or embryos is often easier than being legally allowed… Read More »Posthumous Conception in Victoria: Retrieval, Consent, and the Law
