Surrogacy is an arrangement where one woman (called a surrogate) becomes pregnant and gives birth to a child for another person or couple (called intended parents) who will raise the child. It matters because it provides a path to parenthood for people who cannot have biological children themselves, though it also involves complex legal, ethical, and emotional considerations.

Surrogacy is an arrangement whereby a woman gets pregnant and gives birth on behalf of another person or couple who will become the child's legal parents after birth. People pursue surrogacy for a variety of reasons such as infertility, dangers or undesirable factors of pregnancy, or when pregnancy is a medical impossibility. Surrogacy is highly controversial, with many countries legally regulating or banning its practice.
