This commentary examines a series of high-profile surrogacy cases decided in 2015. Taken singly or together, these cases serve to illustrate how the UK's law on surrogacy—in particular its provisions regarding eligibility for parental orders—is not only out of date but also becoming nonsensical. These problems culminate in an evident inability of the law to protect the best interests of children born through surrogacy and indicate strongly a need for reform.
本评论审视了2015年判决的一系列备受瞩目的代孕案例。这些案例单独或综合起来，都说明了英国的代孕法律——尤其是其关于获得亲权令资格的规定——不仅过时，而且正变得荒谬。这些问题最终导致法律明显无法保护通过代孕出生的儿童的最大利益，并强烈表明需要进行改革。
