Can a daughter be a surrogate for her mother?

Yes, it is a possible option that is referred to with the term intrafamilial surrogacy by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). In these cases, the surrogate is thoroughly screened as well. In case the intended mother's eggs cannot be used, they will use donor eggs.
