The Birth Of Regulation For In Vitro Fertilization

(3)

Category : in vitro fertilization

Let me start by saying that the use of in vitro fertilization around the globe seems to have very little regulation. Although for the most part there is a medical code of ethics that usually prevents news events like the in vitro fertilization case of the Suleman octuplets.  I like a lot of people around the world was appalled at the details behind the recent birth of the Suleman octuplets. The recklessness of this situation goes so far beyond common sense that it simply just boggles :roll:   the mind when you think about it. The audacity of the people involved in this whole process just speaks to lack of common sense, ethics and regulation for in vitro fertilization.

  • CHILDREN born through in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) to lesbian mothers will have the same rights as those of heterosexual couples, under law changes announced by the New South Wales government.

    State Attorney-General John Hatzistergos today said he had accepted NSW Law Reform recommendations extending “parental presumption” provisions to cover gay mums.

    It was estimated 20 per cent of the state’s female same-sex couples had children, Mr Hatzistergos said.

    The change affects those born through IVF or artificial fertilization only, by granting parenting rights and obligations to the non-biological mother.

    “The current law discriminates against these children who, at the moment, have a relationship with the birth mother’s partner that is not recognized by law,” Mr Hatzistergos said.

    “They are unable to take on inheritance, or the benefits of compensation which may be due … following a death or injury.”
