LAW-2113 Assisted Reproductive Technology Law
Mr. Bruce Hale,
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
Grade will be based on the quality of the written paper.
The law around Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) is often referred as the “wild West” of
law. Recent advances in medical science and increased societal acceptance of different family
structures challenge many aspects of existing law and provide opportunities for new law and
regulation. Legislatures, judges, and practitioners regularly chart new paths in this evolving
legal terrain. In this course we will examine the shifting legal and ethical framework
surrounding ART which can include issues that touch on many legal disciplines such as Family
Law, Property, Contracts, Torts, Constitutional Law, International Law, Health Law,
Reproductive Rights and more.
