　　What is surrogacy?

　　什么是代孕?

　　Surrogacy is where a woman becomes pregnant with the intention of handing over the child tosomeone else after giving birth. Generally, she carries the baby for a couple or parent whocannot conceive a child themselves - they are known as "intended parents".

　　代孕是：一个女性有目的性的打算将产后的孩子交予他人的受孕。一般而言，她为不能自行受孕的夫妇或父母孕育宝宝——他们(不孕夫妇)被称为【预定父母】(intended parents)。

　　There are two forms of surrogacy. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate mother's egg isused, making her the genetic mother. In gestational surrogacy, the egg is provided by theintended mother or a donor. The egg is fertilised through in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and thenplaced inside the surrogate mother.

　　代孕有两种形式。传统代孕中，使用代孕母亲的卵子，这使其成为遗传学上的母亲。在受孕代孕中，使用【预定母亲】或者其他捐赠者的卵子。卵子通过试管受精，再植入代孕母亲体内。
