The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to intervene in a custody dispute involving a child born via surrogacy. Justice Elena Kagan denied an emergency request from McKenna West, an Alaska nurse and surrogate, who had asked the court to halt a California court order recognizing Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar as the legal parents of their child, who was born with a rare and serious heart defect. The court's decision means that the California couple will remain the legal parents of the child. The case highlights ongoing legal challenges related to surrogacy and parental rights. No further action by the Supreme Court is expected at this time.
