The Public Health Ministry is currently drafting an amendment, to the law on the protection of children born through the application of assisted reproductive technology, to allow foreign couples access to surrogacy services in Thailand, said Arkhom Praditsuwan, deputy director-general of the Health Service Support Department.

 

According to the subcommittee responsible for amendment, foreign couples will be allowed to bring their own or use a Thai surrogate, adding that the process must strictly abide by the legal terms, which are still being worked out.

 

There will, however, be measures in place to prevent commercial surrogacy services and human trafficking.

A recent scandal involving Chinese men using surrogate Thai women to  bear children and then obtain visa entitlements as the fathers of Thai children was exposed and condemned recently.The authorities promised to prevent further use of Thai woman as surrogate child bearers  for foreign businessmen.   Boy they really cleaned up the business by making it legal .

Good of you to have conributed that link.

 

This surrogacy industry seems to be big business with big profits and this being Thailand, one cannot help but wonder who in government has a vested interest in the new law getting passed by parliament.
