Legislative proposals have spanned the spectrum from prohibiting surrogate arrangements to facilitating them. New Jersey A. 3139 would make it a crime to participate in a surrogate mother arrangement. California, in A.B. 3771, aims to “facilitate the ability of infertile couples; to become parents through the employment of the services of a surrogate,” and allows reasonable compensation. H.B. 4114, in Michigan, aims to screen the surrogate and parents, to protect the natural mother's health, to spell out the contractual obligations of the parties, and to permit payment only of medical expenses and lost wages for the surrogate.Google Scholar
