Relating to the provision of embryo donation information.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. 

Bill Analysis

This bill would require a physician to inform a patient getting an assisted reproduction procedure involving the creation of a human embryo of the option of embryo donation for unused human embryos. The bill would also require the Department of Health to put information regarding embryo donation on the department's website.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles and deals with what we regard primarily as a social issue, therefore we remain neutral.
