You've always assumed you would have children - but what if you physically weren't able to? Would you turn to surrogacy? Technology has changed the landscape of having children and today surrogacy is an increasingly common practice - yet the law lags behind. Surrogacy is largely without regulation, controlled mainly by fertility doctors, with few rules determining who may obtain babies or who may serve as a surrogate. If you think mental health screening is consistently required, that contracts are always enforceable, or that a surrogate is able to charge whatever price she wants - think again. Laws vary from state to state - and the outcomes of surrogacy disputes can be vastly different. Come hear three of Duke's own professors - Kim Krawiec, Katherine Bradley, and Marin Levy - discuss what the law is and what it should be! Lunch will be served.
