Description
Understand the legal processes involved with different forms of collaborative reproduction for samesex and differentsex couples.An estimated 15 of differentsex couples and 100 of samesex couples are unable to conceive the oldfashioned way. As society becomes more progressive, differentsex couples have more options to conceive if they are unable to do so without intervention and samesex couples are increasingly vocal and active about their desire to have children. Enter collaborative reproduction. The advent of medical technology allowing gamete donation, in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, and gestational surrogacy has opened a myriad of options. The legal issues that can arise with collaborative reproduction are numerous and technical. This course will introduce you to some basics of practice in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technology law, teach you terms, and identify thorny issues that can arise in drafting agreements and establishing parentage. While these matters vary widely by state, there are basics that any lawyer must understand when delving into this practice or even while working with individuals or couples in estate planning, dissolution, or immigration matters when there has been the use of reproductive technology.
