Professor Mary Keyes (Griffith Law School) discusses the mire of Australian law regulating 'commercial' and 'altruistic' surrogacy. However, the popular rise in cross-border surrogacy complicates the already difficult area of regulation.

Professor Keyes investigates whether Australian regulation of both forms of surrogacy is effective in cross-borders cases and proposes changes to Australian law to better respond to these arrangements.
