Legal representation for assisted reproductive technology matters
In addition to adoption some families are turning to Assisted Reproductive Technology to grow their families. Washington state recently incorporated Assisted Reproductive Technology in the Uniform Parentage Act (UPA 2017).
What is assisted reproductive technology (ART)?
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is the production of a pregnancy without sexual intercourse. (RCW 26.26A.700), utilizing such methods as:
- Intrauterine or intracervical insemination;
- Donation of gametes;
- Donation of embryos;
- In-vitro fertilization and transfer of embryos; and
- Intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
Surrogacy involves an agreement between one or more intended parents with a woman who is not an intended parent who agrees to become pregnant through assisted reproduction for the purpose of making the intended parents of the child conceived under the agreement. RCW 26.26A.700
