Gestational surrogacy is a reproductive arrangement where a woman, known as the surrogate, carries and delivers a baby for another individual or couple, referred to as the intended parents. In this process, the surrogate is not genetically related to the child, as the embryo is created using in vitro fertilization (IVF) with eggs and sperm from the intended parents or donors. The surrogate's role is to provide a nurturing environment for the developing fetus until birth. After delivery, the child is handed over to the intended parents, who then assume full parental rights and responsibilities. This method is often chosen when the intended parents are unable to conceive or carry a pregnancy to term.
