Question

in the calvert case, which involved gestational surrogacy, the court declared that anna johnson, who gave birth to the baby was
the legal mother.
the adoptive mother.
the biological mother.
a genetic hereditary stranger.

Explanation:

In the Calvert case (Johnson v. Calvert), the court ruled based on the intent of the parties. The intended parents (the Calverts) had a gestational surrogacy agreement. Anna Johnson was the gestational carrier (gave birth) but had no genetic connection (as it was gestational surrogacy - eggs were from another source). The court held that the intended mother (based on the pre - conception agreement and intent) was the legal mother. However, if we consider the options given in a more general sense (assuming some mis - framing of the question's recall), in gestational surrogacy, the gestational carrier is not the genetic/biological mother. Since it's a legal case, and if we assume the question is testing knowledge of surrogacy law (even if the options are a bit off - in the actual Calvert case, the intended mother was the legal mother, but if we go by the options and the fact that Anna Johnson had no genetic material in the baby), she is a genetic hereditary stranger.

Answer:

a genetic hereditary stranger.
