The surge in demand for surrogacy treatments, combined with regulatory loopholes, has spurred the widespread adoption of global commercial surrogacy. This phenomenon poses potential risks to all involved parties, including surrogates and children, encompassing ethical, legal, physical, and psychological concerns. Although commercial surrogacy is under discussion in various jurisdictions, some countries may reintroduce legislation on the matter. In addressing this intricate landscape, the researchers performed an integrative review of existing literature with the intention of providing guidance to researchers and policymakers. The researchers emphasized notable legal and ethical challenges linked to commercial surrogacy. Surrogates often experience disempowerment and oppression, exacerbated by the contractual nature of these arrangements, perpetuating structural inequalities. Children born through commercial surrogacy, especially internationally, risk losing cultural heritage and future benefits. Banning commercial surrogacy may drive it underground, harming surrogates. Reconsidering prohibitions without penalizing surrogates could mitigate downstream issues and safeguard them from exploitation
