The Next Battleground? Personhood, Privacy, And Assisted Reproductive Technologies, Mark Strasser

Personhood statutes and amendments have been proposed in several states. As a general matter, they establish as a matter of state law that legal personhood begins at conception. Such laws may have implications for state policies concerning abortion and contraception, and will have implications for other areas of law including state policies related to assisted reproductive technologies. Yet, some of the ways in which these different areas of law might be affected are not well understood and thus are explored here.

Various state courts have been asked to decide who should have control of remaining frozen embryos upon divorce. Different models have been proposed, ranging from enforcement of prior agreements to balancing the needs and desires of the parties to requiring both parties to agree before implantation can take place.

Abandoned Frozen Embryos And Texas Law Of Abandoned Personal Property: Should There Be A Connection Comment., Lynne M. Thomas
St. Mary's Law Journal
In vitro fertilization (“IVF”) has become almost commonplace in society. The widespread utilization of IVF and cryopreservation raises new questions with respect to ownership and disposition of embryos. This legal confusion may be addressed by either crafting specific regulations for that particular technology as its implications become apparent, or by applying current law. IVF first began in Great Britain, and the British Parliament passed a law mandating destruction of abandoned frozen embryos five years after cryopreservation.

This note is concerned with the question currently facing the courts: once an embryo is frozen, what should become of it in a dispute over what should happen to it, and who has the right to make that decision? In addressing this question, this note will first establish the process through which frozen embryos are created, and the resulting dilemma of definitional problems among the medical and legal professions. Next the article will survey the current state of the law to discover how prenatal beings have been treated traditionally, how this should affect frozen embryo disposition, and how trends are …
