| Abstract | The article discusses the different types of medical tourism and the kinds of legal and ethical concerns they can pose. The first type of medical tourism involves services that are illegal in both the home country of the patient and destination countries such as organ sale. Next deals with services that are illegal in the patient's home country yet legal in the destination country like surrogacy agreements for same-sex couples. The final category of medical tourism is for services legal in both the home and destination countries. |
