Surrogacy, United Kingdom, Comparative law, Legal frameworkAbstract
This article examines surrogacy from a comparative law perspective between Mexico and the United Kingdom, with the aim of identifying elements of the British model that could be adapted to the Mexican legal context. The British model stands out for its comprehensive regulation, institutional oversight mechanisms, and a human rights–centered approach. The findings highlight its potential value as a reference for legal reforms in Mexico that strengthen reproductive rights, ensure legal certainty, and safeguard the dignity of all parties involved.
