    S. Court: Law barring single men, gay couples from surrogacy to be repealed

    The Supreme Court ruled today that within six months, the definitions set forth in the law, which exclude single men and same-sex couples from filing for a surrogacy arrangement, will be repealed.

    "The state has done nothing for over a year to promote appropriate legislative amendment, and therefore the court has ruled that the continuing serious violation of human rights caused as a result of the existing surrogacy arrangement cannot be remedied and operative relief must be granted to petitioners," the Court ruling states.
