In bioethical literature surrogate maternity is understood as a method within a range of techniques of medically supported procreation. It is not an independent technique of artificial insemination but it is considered as being made up of various ways of supported reproduction. The ethical assessment of surrogate maternity cannot be deprived of moral and legal analysis. The Polish law has not introduced any regulations on the issue so far, thus leaving it without an answer. The aim of my work is to consider social, ethical and deontonomic aspects of the subject matter and in this way to draw attention to its importance and bring it to a discussion leading to the introduction of the appropriate medical and legal regulations.
