About this statute

This provision defines key terms for assisted reproduction and says fertilized or unfertilized human eggs may be stored only until the woman who will give birth turns 46, after which they must be destroyed. Section 8 limits egg storage and donation, requires written consent and prior information in several cases, and requires destruction of stored eggs after certain deaths or relationship changes. Section 20 limits egg donation and sperm donation practices, requires donor consent and information, and caps how many pregnancies may be established from one sperm donor. Section 20 restricts donor-sperm use, requires reporting of viable pregnancies, and bars new assisted-reproduction methods until ministerial approval. Companies and other legal persons may be made criminally liable under Chapter 5 of the Criminal Code.
