Traditional surrogacy is a reproductive arrangement where a woman, known as the surrogate, carries and gives birth to a child for another individual or couple. In this process, the surrogate is usually artificially inseminated with sperm from the intended father or a sperm donor, making her the biological mother of the child. In traditional surrogacy, legal agreements are often established to clarify the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved. This type of surrogacy can raise complex emotional and legal issues, as the surrogate has a genetic connection to the child, unlike in gestational surrogacy, where the surrogate has no genetic link.
