 '''Surrogacy'''
 *In August 2001, the Ministry of Public Health of the People’s Republic of China issued  the "Administrative Measures for Assisted Human Reproductive Technology," which prohibits medical institutions and medical staff from performing any form of surrogacy procedure. Any medical institution that assists a surrogacy arrangement may be subject to a fine of not more than 30,000 yuan (RMB) (Approx US$5000).
 * In addition the "Ethical Principles of Assisted Human Reproductive Technology and Human Sperm Bank" (updated 23 June 2003), establishes the protection of children as one of seven fundamental ethical principles of assisted human reproductive technology. This principal is seen to be guaranteed and implemented by, among other things, the prohibition on medical staff performing surrogate surgery.

 *Note: The Administrative Measures Sanctions do not pertain to the surrogate mother or commissioning couple, and it has been reported that there is a significant "underground" practice of surrogacy in China.
