Surrogacy has increased globally due to the development of medical technology. In light of the abolition of the one-child policy in China, demand for surrogacy among Chinese citizens has increased, especially in single-child families that would like a second child but worry about childbearing at an advanced age. Meanwhile, highly educated women tend to have children at an advanced age. Hence, the need for surrogacy has risen. However, current policies and laws in China prohibit surrogacy, resulting in a domestic black market and people seeking international surrogacy. This article surveys legal and judicial practices in China and attempts to forecast whether China is likely to explicitly prohibit or legitimize surrogacy in the short term.
由于医疗技术的发展，代孕在全球范围内有所增加。鉴于中国独生子女政策的废除，中国公民对代孕的需求有所上升，尤其是在那些想要二孩但担心高龄生育的独生子女家庭中。与此同时，高学历女性往往倾向于高龄生育。因此，对代孕的需求增加了。然而，中国目前的政策和法律禁止代孕，这导致了国内代孕黑市的出现以及人们寻求国际代孕。本文调查了中国的法律和司法实践，并试图预测中国在短期内是否可能明确禁止代孕或将其合法化。
