Surgical birth method delivering babies through an abdominal incision
In a landmark ruling, Australia’s Queensland court has ruled that two babies born from a surrogate pregnancy are not birth siblings for the purposes of surrogacy laws. The birth outcomes involve an anonymised couple and a separate couple, with parentage formalised for both sets of biological parents under the Surrogacy Act. The court emphasised unusual circumstances, noting both children were gestational twins but not birth siblings.
