| Legal Research Reports: Regulation of IVF and Related Issues: France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom
|
| 05/06/2025
|
The Law Library of Congress is proud to present the report "Regulation of IVF and Related Issues: France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom."
This report, prepared by staff of the Global Legal Research Directorate of the Law Library of Congress, surveys the rules in select jurisdictions regarding embryos created through artificial reproductive technology treatment cycles, such as those involving in vitro fertilization (IVF). The countries surveyed include Israel, the United Kingdom (UK), and six European countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Sweden.
The report consists of this summary, individual country surveys, and a table providing information on the legal treatment of embryos created through IVF. Among issues addressed by the report are the legal limits on the number of embryos that can be created or transferred in a treatment cycle and the actions that can be taken with respect to the embryos created, apart from transfer to a person’s uterus as part of that cycle. Such actions include reimplantation genetic testing, sex selection for nonmedical purposes, cryopreservation and storage, donation to another person or couple, disposal or destruction, and allowing the embryos to be used for research purposes.
The report further addresses countries’ requirements for facilities where IVF procedures are conducted, registries of procedures and donors, funding of procedures, and the existence of restrictions in access to IVF procedures for certain groups of patients and couples.
