The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 was a major update
to the UK's laws on the use and regulation of reproductive
technology and assisted reproduction. Since the enactment of the
new law, the sector's regulatory body, the Human Fertilisation and
Embryology Authority (HFEA), has also consulted on various related
topics including barriers to egg and sperm donation in the UK,
multiple births/single embryo transfer and using IVF technology to
prevent mitochondrial disease. This book critically considers
recent developments in human fertilisation legislation, asking
whether the 2008 Act has achieved its stated aim of being fit for
purpose. Bringing together a range of international experts, the
book evaluates the fresh risks and challenges emerging from both
established and existing technologies and techniques in the field
of human fertilisation and embryology, as well as offering valuable
insights into the social and regulatory challenges that lie ahead.
Key topics include problems with DIY assisted conception; the lack
of reform in respect of the regulation of surrogacy arrangements;
and mitochondrial DNA transfer. As a review of the status of
assisted reproduction legislation, this book will be of great use
and interest to students, researchers and practitioners in medical
law, bioethics, medicine and child welfare.
