Abstract: Personal status is an example of legal pluralism in Egypt, where several laws are enforced by several judicial bodies, all with the goal of regulating the personal status of Egyptian citizens according to their religion and foreigners according to their nationality.

Abstract: The world was introduced to the issue of commercial surrogacy through the British case of Baby Cotton in 1985.1 Specifically, in the United States (US), the 1988 case of Baby M brought the legal, ethical, and emotional issues surrounding commercial surrogacy to America's attention.2 Since the 1980s, assisted reproductive technology (ART)—especially surrogacy—has become more popular and accessible.3 In particular, commercial surrogacy has grown into a multi-billion dollar industry that has spread globally over recent years.4 Although access to surrogacy during its beginning was open mainly to infertile heterosexual couples,5 gay couples wanting to have a biological connection to their child have increasingly sought ...
