Nicolás de CárdenasMadrid, Spain, Dec 17, 2024 / 08:00 am – A ruling by the Supreme Court of Spain states that surrogacy exploits the woman who rents her womb and harms the dignity and rights of the children conceived.

The Dec. 9 decision by the country’s First Chamber of the high court determined that “it is contrary to public order” to recognize a ruling by a foreign court (Bexar County, Texas) that validates a surrogacy contract and attributes the paternity of the children born to the intended [contracting] parents.”

The decision is based on the “fundamental rights and constitutional principles” of the Spanish legal system, which include “the rights to physical and moral well-being of the pregnant woman and the child, and respect for their dignity.”
