As a resul courts employing traditional constitutional and family law doctrines have not adequately sorted out the claims of biological, gesta- tional, and intended parents In this Article Professor Hill argues that the claims of those who first intend to have a child should prevail over those who assert parental rights on the basis of a biological or gestational relation. Such a view, he argues, is consistent with existing case law on the constitutional rights to procreation and privacy and supported by moral theory and modern scientific evidenceen-USArticle
