Is altruistic surrogacy legal?

Surrogacy is an arrangement, usually supported   by a legal agreement, whereby a woman agrees to give birth for another person or people, who will become the child’s parent(s) after birth. People may seek a surrogacy arrangement when pregnancy is medically not possible, when pregnancy risks are dangerous for the intended mother, or when a single man or a  male couples wish to have a child. Surrogacy is considered as one of many ART procedures. Altruistic surrogacy generally refers only to those preparations in which the surrogate does not receive compensation for her services
