SURROGACY IN DENMARK

Altruistic surrogacy is permitted, which of course means no payments and advertising are allowed. Also no contracts are recognized. As of egg donation in Denmark, § 14 Artificial insemination including oocytes donated from a woman known by the receiving woman or couple is not allowed and the receiving woman or couple are not allowed to decide the donor identity prior to treatment.

§ 268 stk 2. It is not allowed to give payment or other kind of economic compensation in relation to donation of oocytes. However, in the guidance from the National Board of Health stk 7.1.4 it emerges that donors are allowed to receive 500 Dkk (64 eur) to compensate for inconvenience related to the donation.
