Medlaw Seminar: Medical Legal Issues and our Changing Concepts of Reproduction and the Family
What is involved in the processes of in vitro fertilization, egg harvesting, and sperm donation, and how should the law respond? Can conception and parenthood occur post-mortem, and if so, what are the legal consequences? If a surrogate mother gives birth to a child, does the law consider her to be the mother? Who should have access to assisted reproductive technologies-single mothers, same-sex couples, rich and poor alike-- and should the law regulate such an issue? If these questions intrigue you, we invite you to enroll in this seminar.
