Abstract：Through a case of health supervision and law enforcement against surrogacy, this paper analyzes the existing dilemmas in the health supervision and law enforcement of surrogacy. The main problems include insufficient systematicness and targeting of current legal norms, which results in limited penalties; undefined responsibilities of various departments, hindering the establishment of a joint law enforcement mechanism; high concealment of surrogacy acts leading to difficulties in investigation and evidence collection; and the organizational conduct of surrogacy agencies and practitioners not covered by the current legal regulation, which increases the difficulty of investigation and punishment. Suggestions are put forward as follows: enact special superior laws, specify the acts, types and ranges of administrative penalties so as to increase the penalty intensity, and define the statutory responsibilities of all relevant departments to promote the formation of a joint law enforcement mechanism; carry out differentiated training for law enforcement personnel and set up a backbone team to improve the capacity of health supervision and law enforcement; smooth the channels for social supervision and reporting, and conduct targeted crackdowns on surrogacy agencies and practitioners.
