In this episode, I chat to Margaret Casey KC, a leading barrister specializing in surrogacy and reproductive law based in Auckland, New Zealand. Margaret shares her inspiring journey into this field, shaped in part by her own personal fertility story. She offers a detailed look at how New Zealand's surrogacy laws were developed, the legal processes currently in place, and the specific steps intended parents and surrogates must navigate throughout their surrogacy experience.
Margaret also dives into her work on international surrogacy, comparing legal frameworks across countries and explaining how New Zealand approaches overseas surrogacy arrangements. Lastly, she provides insights into the proposed surrogacy reform bill under review, which promises to bring significant and much-needed improvements to surrogacy law in New Zealand.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the complexities of surrogacy law, both in New Zealand and internationally, and the ongoing efforts to create more equitable and accessible paths to parenthood.
