Description

Assisted Reproductive Technology: A Lawyer's Guide to Emerging Law and Science 3rd Edition Maureen McBrien ISBN 9781641052245

Since the groundbreaking first edition in 2005—one of the earliest legal guides on assisted reproductive technology (ART) written for practicing attorneys—the landscape of ART has changed dramatically. Advances in science, evolving laws, and shifts in public opinion, combined with a rapidly expanding and increasingly global market for ART services, have made the legal issues surrounding assisted reproduction more complex than ever.

The updated edition of Assisted Reproductive Technology reflects these significant changes, providing a comprehensive resource for attorneys navigating this rapidly evolving field. Legal challenges now extend beyond representing patients or clinics, including disputes over embryo and gamete disposition in divorce, as well as matters in personal injury, insurance, criminal law, probate, estate planning, and government regulation.

Drawing on a wide array of legal sources—including the growing body of case law addressing ART—this book presents complex topics in a clear, balanced, and practical manner. Key areas covered include:

  • Intrauterine insemination and state laws on spousal consent for donor sperm

  • In vitro fertilization (IVF) and cryopreserved embryos

  • Surrogacy laws across the United States

  • Posthumous reproduction

  • Advanced cellular technologies, including cloning, mitochondrial replacement therapy (MRT), and CRISPR

  • Regulation of ART and standards of care

  • Liability issues and malpractice considerations

  • Assisted reproduction contracts and legal documents

A final chapter examines the ABA’s Model Acts Governing Assisted Reproductive Technology, and a glossary defines the most commonly used terms in court decisions and legal commentary. This edition equips attorneys with the knowledge and practical guidance needed to advise clients effectively in this complex and fast-evolving area of law.
