History

Historical Context

The Baby M case, decided in 1988, marked a pivotal moment in U.S. surrogacy law when New Jersey courts ruled on the validity of surrogacy contracts. Mary Beth Whitehead, who carried the child for William and Elizabeth Stern, initially relinquished her parental rights but later sought custody, igniting debates over reproductive rights and parental definitions. This case continues to influence contemporary legal discussions on surrogacy and reproductive technologies.
