Abstract
Aims: To ascertain the laws and policies of selected high income countries, with respect
to the disposition of their citizens seeking assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs)
internationally.
Study Design: Literature review.
Methodology: PubMed, Scopus and Google of various ART terms with terms relating to
regulations in the selected nations of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the UK, the USA,
and Israel.
Results: All nations except the USA have a federal ART regulatory presence, distinguish
between gestational and traditional surrogacy, and between paid and unpaid surrogacy.
Policies concerning the repatriation of children produced by ART abroad vary widely.
Conclusions: Heterogeneous regulations are one of the drivers of the global
reproductive tourism industry. Domestic regulations are likely affected by both the values
of a specific population and the needs of the industry.
