Gestational surrogacy is an infertility treatment which may be utilized when viable embryos may be formed by a woman but for medical or other reasons the embryos will not be carried by that woman. Therefore, the embryo(s) are developed within the uterus of a gestational carrier or host surrogate.
Generally, it is recommended that the gestational carrier be a woman under 40 years old, who has at least one healthy, living childGIVF.com: Gestational Surrogacy
