Description

In this podcast, Professor Donrich Thaldar and Ms Aliki Edgcumbe discuss the genetic-link requirement for surrogate motherhood agreements. Summary What do Kim Kardashian, Elon Musk, and Elton John have in common? Well, it is not just their mega success as celebrities. These stars share something far more interesting – they are just some of the rich and famous who have used a surrogate to have their children. But, the surrogacy stories are not limited to the gossip columns in your local tattler. The ones less told are the stories of ordinary infertile couples (and individuals) who look to surrogacy to build a family they would otherwise be unable to have. Professor Donrich Thaldar is joined by Ms Aliki Edgcumbe, a doctoral research fellow at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. She has written an article on the current case, that of KB v Minister of Social Development, where she asks whether the writing is on the wall for the genetic link requirement in surrogacy agreements.
