Wednesday 8th December 15:00 Assisted Reproductive Technology and Legal Parenthood

University of Salford's Charlie Seager introduces legally a mother is a parent by virtue of the fact that she physically gives birth to the child. A father is legally a parent by virtue of being married to the legal mother. Technically speaking, no genetic connection is required to prove parenthood with married couples. So, what happens in surrogacy arrangements, and other methods where children are conceived with the help of assisted reproductive technologies? Who is mum and dad? This session will look at the confusing world of parenthood and explore some curious case law where the current legal methods for assigning 'mother' and 'father' have clearly failed to meet the intention of the parties involved.
