Surrogate motherhood is controversial. In the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China, the commercialization of surrogate motherhood and non-genetic surrogacy (in cases of homosexuals, single parents and unmarried individuals) are banned. The regulation provides that the the Intended Parents will have to adopt the child, and that the surrogate mother cannot be forced to give up the child. The Chinese Ministry of Health also prohibits buying and selling of gametes, zygotes and embryos.
