Critiquing The 2008 Model Act: Redefining "Consent" And Implications Of Intent-Based Parenthood For Posthumous Reproduction, Amy Lai
Amy Lai
My paper critiques the Model Act governing Assisted Reproductive Technology proposed by the American Bar Association in February 2008, for its unnecessarily stringent, one-size-fits-all consent standard governing posthumous reproduction, as well as its far-reaching implications for federal and state legislatures, despite the purportedly modest language of the statute.

Specifically, although some states permit the judicial limitation of parental rights over children’s education during foster care placement, others do not. This Article is among the first to consider the benefits and consequences of each approach in the context of parents’ rights and children’s best interests.
