Surrogacy agreements regulate various matters, including parentage, consent to medical procedures, the performance of a very personal service, and monetary compensation. All these questions, which jointly structure the surrogacy, are bundled up together, separated only by extremely fine lines. Collectively, they comprise the basis upon which local and transnational surrogacies are executed. Legislators world-wide hold different positions on the matter of surrogacy in general and on the regulation of each sub-issue in particular; thus, the enforceability and possible outcomes of the procedure vary, depending on the law governing it. As such, it is crucial for the parties to know which law will apply to the surrogacy they are planning. Application of law is usually made by each country’s choice-of-law rules, which at this time are generally non-existent. This paper suggests guidelines for drafting rules to regulate these special agreements and adequately balance the different interests involved.

代孕协议的法律选择：在地位和合同之间

代孕协议规定了各种事项，包括育儿，同意医疗程序，提供非常个性化的服务以及金钱补偿。所有这些共同构成代孕的问题被捆绑在一起，仅以极细的线分开。它们共同构成了执行地方和跨国代理人的基础。全世界的立法者在代孕问题上，特别是在对每个子问题的监管上，都持有不同的立场；因此，该程序的可执行性和可能的​​结果会根据管辖它的法律而有所不同。因此，至关重要的是，各方必须了解哪种法律将适用于他们计划中的代孕。法律的适用通常取决于每个国家的法律选择规则，目前通常不存在。本文提出了起草规则的准则，以规范这些特殊协议并充分平衡所涉及的不同利益。
