Many Islamic fatwas(laws) have pass the laws of artifical insemination based on the current technology or process.I post one website available easily through search engine.

http://www.islam4women.org/?pa...

The most controversial point is of course the issue of 'surrogate parenting' in artificial insemination. It's where a 'surrogate' women volunteers to be concepted with a child and becomes a gestational mother to a married man and woman, but not genetically hers. Many fatwa's have passed it as haram for now, but the controversial topic was not closed or abated. It's arguable and a difficult topic actually, if you are into the discipline well.

I'm not a scholar of Islam and/or a scholar of medical science, as such I have not right to justify in these topic. I'm sorry.

Fariz have answered the Question nicely. Here is just to enphesis what was said earlier.

source:
http://www.islamicity.com/dial...

"That ruling states that whatever is used strictly between a married couple to help them have a child of their own is permissible, provided that no third party is involved in any way. If, for example, the egg of a woman is taken out of her body and fertilized in the laboratory out of her own husband's sperm, which means that the conception takes place outside her body, and then the fertilized egg is replanted in her body, and she carries the fetus for the rest of the pregnancy term before giving birth to it, this is acceptable. When any process involves a third party, either in the shape of a surrogate mother or fertilizing the egg of one woman with the sperm of someone other than her husband, then all this is forbidden. In the latter case, the sperm may come from a bank and the man who gave it is not known to the woman. The prohibition is based on the principle that Islam is keen to maintain proper family relationships. The children must be aware of who their parents are. When a mess like the one happening in the West is allowed to take place, all sorts of problems arise. What is more, the inevitable result will be total confusion of parenthood and of the child-parent relationship. This is something which Islam does not allow. "
