A Novelty Concept on Surrogacy in North Macedonia | Chapter 02 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 8

 Surrogacy has been practised since the dawn of mankind. Traditional and gestational surrogacy are two types of surrogacy that differ depending on how an embryo is created. There are two forms of surrogacy when it comes to monetary compensation: altruistic and commercialised. Many questions arise, such as: Is altruistic surrogacy a humane gesture for all individuals involved? What if the mother has a change of heart? Do the children of surrogacy mothers have any legal rights? Surrogacy was first legalised in North Macedonia in 2014, when the Law on Biomedicine and Assisted Fertilization was revised. It was a first, given that surrogacy as a practise was forbidden by the Surrogacy Law of 2008. In relation to the Statute of 2008, the modified law uses the term gestational carrier and takes a more permissive approach. The brief study's goal is to provide an overview of surrogacy as a procedure in a national setting, with a focus on legislation. Many elements of national legislation remain ambiguous. Surrogacy should be considered from all angles, with all benefits and drawbacks properly considered.

The Right to Abortion in North Macedonia: A Brief Study | Chapter 6 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 2

 The right to a safe abortion is included in the list of human rights. Providing women with safe abortion access is a kind of protection and realisation of one of their basic human rights. However, even today, women around the world suffer not only legal barriers, but also stigmatisation and conviction for exercising their right to abortion. Women who live in areas where abortion is outlawed frequently seek out hazardous abortion services and incur terrible repercussions. For a life free of violence, prejudice, and degrading treatment, safe, legal abortion and family planning are vital. In North Macedonia, there are a variety of impediments to accessing and using reproductive health care services, as well as significant inequities. Women from low-income families are disproportionately affected. Contraception is still in short supply, and reproductive health care clinics are dispersed across the country. The study highlights the importance of accurate family planning information, sexuality education, equal and equitable treatment, and access to medical treatments for all women.
