(choose chapter or problem)

Some infertile couples hire a surrogate mother to have their biological child. When couples enter into an agreement with a surrogate mother, all parties sign a contract. But there have been cases where a surrogate mother signed a contract but then decided not to give up the baby to the couple who hired her. Do you think a surrogate mother should have the right to change her mind and keep the baby, even though it is not genetically hers? In some cases, the surrogate will also donate her eggs to be fertilized by the males sperm, making the baby genetically hers. Should she have a right to change her mind after she has signed a contract and the baby is born? How should judges decide these cases? Can you suggest any laws or regulations for such situations?
