New California Law Advances Embryo Donation By Baby Steps

Embryo donors, recipients, and the resulting children are each a little more protected by the state's efforts.

Excerpt: “On August 22, 2022, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California signed AB-2495, which codifies certain embryo donation protocols into state law. Specifically, the new Golden State law promotes embryo donation by ensuring that donors are never considered the legal parents of children that are born from their donations.”
