(D) extracting a fertilized egg from a woman and implanting it into another woman’s uterus
Explanation:
Subrogation is a term used in Law related to the delegation or replacement of powers to others; It is a type of succession. It is a legal transaction whereby one person replaces another in an obligation. Therefore, subrogation can occur in any of the two positions of an obligation: debtor and creditor position.
Subrogation in the position of the creditor: Through a legal transaction, whether inter vivos (for example, the sale or donation) or mortis causa (by inheritance), a person acquires the position of creditor in a debt. From its communication to the debtor, it must now pay the person who has been subrogated in the position of creditor.
Subrogation in the debtor's position: Given that the debtor is the obligor, the authorization of the creditor for subrogation is necessary, since it may happen that the new debtor does not have as many assets or is not sufficiently qualified to fulfill the obligation. No such authorization is necessary in case of death of the debtor, if the subrogation is by inheritance.
More generally, but in the same sense, a person can be subrogated in a contractual position. In that case, it would be assuming, at the same time, the debtor and creditor positions (according to each one) of all the obligations that arise from said contract and that are applicable to its newly acquired position in the contract.
