Out of consideration for surrogate mothers 'feelings, Britain has banned commercial surrogacy, and encourages the choice of people with close emotional bonds to the couple as surrogates, such as mothers, sisters, relatives or friends. In this way, there is no need for the surrogate to break off her relationship with the child, and the child has another person who loves it rather than someone fighting over it.
為了兼顧代孕者的感情，英國禁止商業性質的代孕，鼓勵由母親、姊妹、親友等感情親密的人擔任代理孕母，如此一來，代孕者不需要與孩子切斷關係，對孩子而言，也多一個疼愛者，而非爭奪者。
