Summary/Abstract: Cross-border reproductive care is associated with the activities of patients traveling from their own to another country with the aim of seeking assisted reproductive services and treatment (e.g. preimplantation genetic diagnosis, gamete or embryo donation, surrogate motherhood, ...). Reasons for cross-border reproductive care, and therefore cross-border patient mobility, are mainly related to the costs, better quality, availability or legality of providing assisted reproductive services and treatments in the home country. Such mobility raises many legal as well as ethical issues, challenges and dilemmas.
