Surrogacy is per agreement, though. The reason they have a legal right to their child is it is their child, despite the bizarre circumstances of its birth.
But it creates a legal precedence where carrying the baby in your womb doesn't give you legal custody of it.
Without surrogacy as a practice, that wouldn't have been on the books and she made have had a case to argue that since she "grew" it it was hers. As before that, there was little need to separate "my womb" from "my eggs" legally as they were almost always one and the same.
