Uniform Status of Children of Assisted Conception Act

Read a random definition: collaborative law

A quick definition of Uniform Status of Children of Assisted Conception Act:

The Uniform Status of Children of Assisted Conception Act is a law that helps make sure that children born through assisted conception have clear legal parents. This law also allows states to decide if they want to regulate or stop contracts with surrogate mothers.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniform Status of Children of Assisted Conception Act is a law created in 1988 to provide clarity on legal parentage when assisted conception methods are used. This law ensures that children born through assisted conception have the same legal rights and protections as children born naturally.

For example, if a couple uses in vitro fertilization to conceive a child, the Uniform Status of Children of Assisted Conception Act would ensure that both parents are legally recognized as the child's parents, even if only one parent is biologically related to the child.

Some states may choose to regulate or prohibit contracts with surrogate mothers, which is an option provided by this law. This means that in some states, it may be illegal to enter into a contract with a surrogate mother to carry a child for someone else.
