Steven's Law: More Medical Information for Reproductive Tissue Recipients

New regulations aim to increase access to medical information about reproductive tissue donors.

This is intended to enhance the safety and awareness of those using assisted reproductive procedures.
Key points
Reproductive tissue banks must collect and verify comprehensive medical history from donors, including genetic and mental health conditions.
This information will be available upon request to tissue recipients, their physicians, and donor-conceived individuals aged 18 or with parental consent.
