Joint Oireachtas Committee on International Surrogacy
Issues relating to International Surrogacy Arrangements and Achieving Parental Recognition: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Ciara Merrigan:
I am happy to take the first part about the transfer of rights before or after birth. Irish Families Through Surrogacy would be recommending that there is a pre-birth approval with an on-birth or post-birth transfer of rights. That is to ensure that the surrogate maintains the autonomy of her own body at all times during the pregnancy. That would be our recommendation.
