Spanish society’s opinion on surrogacy

Abstract

The “Spanish society’s opinion and attitude regarding adoption, foster care and surrogacy” survey is the first to use a representative sample (n = 3752) to explore the sociological factors determining Spanish society’s opinion and attitude on surrogacy, a controversial assisted reproductive technology. The results suggest that 58% of the Spanish population believe that a regulatory law should be passed and 53% state that they would use surrogacy in the event of infertility. Homosexuals are 280% and 270% more likely than heterosexuals to accept surrogacy for themselves and to support specific laws on the same, respectively.
