The Legal History of Surrogacy
Surrogacy has been legal in Greece for two decades. But surrogate pregnancies, the protections for surrogates, and the access to surrogacy have been all over Greek headlines as of late. Specifically, in April, a legal provision underlined again that gay couples and single men cannot access surrogate reproduction techniques.
To understand why, we spoke with Marianna Vassiliou, a lawyer at the Supreme Court of Greece, who specializes in assisted reproduction law. Vassiliou outlines the history of surrogacy and assisted reproduction law in Greece, the prohibitions for same-sex couples, and the country's market for international surrogacy tourism.
