Assisted Reproduction: Navigating the Criminalization of Commercial Surrogacy and Reacting to Unexpected Situations
The ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ Journal of Law and Health is hosting its 8th annual Colloquium on the legal and policy issues associated with assisted reproduction in Canada.
The first panel will assess the Assisted Human Reproduction Act’s prohibition of commercial surrogacy and sale of reproductive material. The second panel will explore how law and health practitioners might react to unexpected situations in assisted reproduction cases, such as situations where surrogates or intended parents change their minds or where there is suspicion of the unlawful exchange of financial compensation between the parties.
Legislation and legal issues surrounding assisted reproduction are complicated and penalties are severe. Â This Colloquium will shed light on the state of the law today, as well as potential ethical implications of modern assisted reproduction technologies and policies from the perspective of doctors, lawyers and bioethicists.
