Italy’s recent legislation has made surrogacy abroad a criminal act. It has faced strong criticism from many, who are labelling the decision as ‘medieval’. Critics argue that it infringes on reproductive rights and represents a step back in progress for LGBTQ+ rights, as surrogacy is often sought by gay couples wanting to start families. Penalties for those found guilty under the new law include fines and potential imprisonment, further intensifying the debate on this controversial issue.
