Abstract
Surrogacy allows individuals to have children with a genetic link and start a family. In Israel, this procedure has been regulated by law for 20 years. The law allows for heterosexual couples to contract in a surrogacy agreement with a surrogate mother, but in order to undergo the procedure the contract must be approved by a statutory committee. Thus, while the law has alleviated the distress of some, it discriminates against single and same-sex parents, and infringes on their right to parenthood based on their sex, sexual orientation and personal status. This paper reviews and analyzes the legal and social developments regarding parenting and surrogacy in Israel, and consequently shows that the current law is not only discriminating against single and same-sex couple but it is also leading to a breach of the state’s positive and negative obligations.
