This Master's thesis deals with the legal regulation of surrogacy and its various forms. It analyzes in more detail the dilemmas associated with surrogacy and seeks to find alternatives to the complete ban of surrogacy. A more detailed analysis of some comparative law arrangements plays a key role in this. Consistent legal regulation in countries that allow surrogacy is very important for the successful reduction of risks that arise from exercising surrogacy, as well as exploiting its positive aspects. Within the European area, the European Court of Human Rights plays a key role in cross-border surrogacy and the recognition of parenthood. The Slovenian legal regulation which prohibits any form of surrogacy, is not in line with the needs of today's society to create their own family. Due to the abandonment of the traditional concept of "family" and "parenthood" and the increasing rate of infertile women, today's society needs help with conceiving genetic children. Due to cross-border surrogacy, a total ban does not achieve the goals it seeks to achieve. A well thought out legal framework allowing surrogacy would help reduce the exploitation of women and violations of children's rights, reduce the demand for cross-border surrogacy and, on the other hand, enable exercising the contractual freedom of concluding surrogacy contracts and generational continuity.
