Episode 117: Global Principles of Surrogacy- Steve Snyder

Steve Snyder is nationally known for his work helping families with assisted reproduction law. He is the past chair of the American Bar Association's Assisted Reproductive Technology Committee, Family Law Section. Steve has taught numerous reproductive law continuing legal education classes to fellow Minnesota attorneys, as well as to lawyers from across the globe. Many attorneys refer assisted reproductive law cases to him because of his extensive knowledge in the field. Steve has been recognized as a Super Lawyer, and he is also AV Rated (which means judges and fellow attorneys have noted him as having the highest degree of legal ability and ethical standards).

Listen to Steve Snyder as he discusses with Ellen and Jenn:
• What the ISS (International Social Services) is, what it does, and how it determined its principles on surrogacy.
• How surrogacy viewpoints vary around the world.
• Where the ISS principles significantly differ with US perspectives.
• The international divide over “compensation” of a surrogate.
• The differing views of parent-child relationships when there is a lack of genetic connection.
• Issues of donor gametes and resulting children’s access to genetic history and identity.
