Legal framework

• The Supreme Court of Mexico (Suprema Corte de Justicia de la Nación) ruled that Tabasco’s restriction of surrogacy to Mexican citizens or married couples was unconstitutional. The court declared that all individuals, regardless of nationality, sexual orientation, marital status, or infertility status, have the right to access assisted reproductive technologies, including surrogacy.
• The ruling further affirmed:

• • Children born via surrogacy have the same rights as those born through natural pregnancy.
  • Parental recognition should be based on the intended parents’ procreational will, not genetics.
  • While the implementation of surrogacy laws is left to individual states, the court provided guidelines for individuals, clinics, and agencies to follow, referencing the Political Constitution of Mexico (Title 1, Chapter 1, Article 4), which governs family and health rights.

• Gestational Surrogacy:Only surrogacy with no genetic link to the surrogate is recognized.
• Surrogacy must be altruistic, with the surrogate receiving no payment beyond reasonable expenses.
