In the United States at this time, no uniform federal law exists regarding commercial surrogacy, and state statutory schemes vary vastly, ranging from criminalization to legal recognition with contract enforcement. The authors examine how commercial surrogacy agencies utilize the Internet as a means for attracting parents and surrogates by employing emotional cultural rhetoric. By inducing both parents and surrogates to their jurisdiction, agencies circumvent vast discrepancies in state statutory regulative schemes and create a distinct interstate business, absent an efficient regulatory framework or legal recourse in some circumstances. The authors propose a uniform federal regulatory scheme premised upon regulating interstate business transactions to create accountability and legal remedies for both the parents and the surrogate.
目前在美国，不存在关于商业代孕的统一联邦法律，各州的法定方案差异极大，从将其定为犯罪到通过合同执行予以法律认可不等。作者研究了商业代孕机构如何利用互联网，通过运用情感文化辞藻来吸引父母和代孕者。通过将父母和代孕者都吸引到其管辖范围，这些机构规避了各州法定监管方案中的巨大差异，并在某些情况下在缺乏有效监管框架或法律追索权的情况下创建了一种独特的跨州业务。作者提议制定一项统一的联邦监管方案，其前提是规范跨州商业交易，以便为父母和代孕者创造问责制和法律补救措施。
