Illinois Fertility Fraud Bill
Legislation inspired by Curt Richardson (illicit insemination offspring of Dr. Cline).
Senate Bill 4199, sponsored by Senator Dave Koehler, would create the Illinois Fertility Fraud Act, which would allow people to bring action against health care providers, embryologist or any other person who knowingly or intentionally use their own reproductive cells without the patient’s informed written consent. Under the measure, if a person knowingly or intentionally provides assisted reproductive treatment to a patient by using their own reproductive cells without written consent, that person would be considered to have committed criminal sexual assault.
Ohio Fertility Fraud Bill
Legislation inspired by Carrie Lauterbach, and supported by The Adoption Network Cleveland.
