Israel has approved an amendment to the Law for the Agreement to Carry Embryos (aka the “Surrogacy Law”). If passed, surrogacy will be allowed in Israel for same-sex couples, couples that are not married, and individuals.

The amendment had some opposition: “Not everybody is the same. Not everybody is a family and not everybody is equal.” Luckily, the supporters outweighed those people who do not support a welcome change.

There are many stages to the passing of the amendment, but this is a huge milestone nonetheless.
