"This book on the developing field of surrogacy law, across a number of jurisdictions, tackles an intricate and sensitive legal subject. It is one that has grown out of modern biological technology as it interacts with new social attitudes and values. This is a legal work. But, inevitably, the authors address the contested ethical positions that sometimes stand in the way of sensible law reform. The book is timely, well written and interesting. The authors are well qualified and engaged with their topic. This is cutting-edge law: at a new legal frontier where universal human rights law, conflicting religious and moral positions and powerful feelings of human love come together in vigorous dialogue."

The Hon Michael Kirby AC, CMG. Past Justice of the High Court of Australia

"This collection is a timely addition to the global debates on surrogacy, drawn from a uniquely Australian perspective. The wide range of views and recommendations for reform in Surrogacy, Law and Human Rights make it a very valuable contribution to the burgeoning academic dissensus on the role of law in responding to the challenges posed by domestic and transnational surrogacy."

Jenni Millbank, University of Technology, Sydney, Australia

"This stimulating, well-written book is not just for surrogacy lawyers like me. It is chock full of differing perspectives covering ethical issues concerning surrogacy. A great read."

Stephen Page, partner of Harrington Family Lawyers, Brisbane, chair of the Surrogacy Australia legal committee.
