2. What if the surrogate decides not to let the intended parents pry into the process of pregnancy?
As a rule all the intended parents wish to control the entire pregnancy process, they want to see how the surrogate takes care of her health, how she feels and what she eats. And because of wish to have privacy or because of some other reasons the carrier may want not to initiate them into the issues of her private life.

6. Is it okay for the surrogate to give her unused embryos to somebody else?
7. Can giving the child after birth away be called “baby-selling”?

9. Does the surrogate have the right to abort? As the baby the surrogate carries is not hers or at least is not hers entirely she may not be allowed to make an abortion.
