The main examples of it are surrogacy medical procedures and medically assisted reproduction procedures performed abroad on a Mauritian citizen. The legal aspects of those types of medical procedures performed abroad, which could one day become legal issues before the Mauritian Supreme Court are analyzed in this paper.
