| + | |||
| + | There is a view by some that the Anti-Child Abuse Law (Republic Act 7610) may be relevant in that it would appear to classify commercial surrogacy as “an attempt to commit child trafficking.” Article IV, Section 8 states that trafficking is committed “when a person, agency, establishment or child-caring institution recruits women or couples to bear children for the purpose of child trafficking.” RA 7610 defines a child trafficker for the first time in statute books as “any person who shall engage in trading and dealing with children including, but not limited to, the act of buying and selling of a child for money.” It becomes a capital crime when the victim is below 12 years old. | ||
