Abstract:
The legal issues surrounding in vitro fertilization from its beginnings have found their way into courtrooms and legislatures, with disposition of cryopreserved in vitro fertilization preimplantation embryos presenting legal and policy conundrum for patients, providers, and lawmakers in a myriad of contexts. This article examines the legal aspects of selected embryo disposition issues and the potential impact of laws enacted following the US Supreme Court's recent removal of Constitutional protections for reproductive choice and autonomy in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
