Is Surrogacy a Human Right?

Is surrogacy a fundamental human right? From landmark Supreme Court rulings to stateless children caught between borders — the intersection of human rights and surrogacy law is more complex (and more urgent) than you might think.

In this episode of the Australian Family and Fertility Law Podcast, Stephen Page of Page Provan Family and Fertility Lawyers breaks down the key human rights at stake in surrogacy — including the right to procreate, the right to access assisted reproductive treatment (ART), the rights of the surrogate, and the child's right to identity. Stephen examines groundbreaking decisions from the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Court, and the Supreme Courts of Mexico and Colombia that are shaping surrogacy law worldwide.

🔑 In this podcast, you'll learn:

Why the right to reproduce has been recognised as a fundamental human right since WWII

How courts in Mexico defended surrogacy access for same-sex and international couples

What protections the Mexican Supreme Court now requires for surrogates

How a child was left stateless after a Colombian surrogacy — and what the court did about it
