Assisted reproductive technology law

Assisted reproductive technology (ART) law governs procedures like IVF, fertility treatments, and third-party assistance to help individuals or couples conceive. It sets rules to ensure ethical practices, protect rights, and regulate the use of donor eggs, sperm, and embryos. The law covers issues such as consent, donor anonymity, parental rights, and the status of leftover embryos. Its goal is to balance scientific advancements with legal and ethical considerations, safeguarding the interests of all parties involved, including children born through ART, donors, and recipients.
