FRIDAY LEGAL UPDATES - Gay Rights, Fertility, Embryos, Georgia Legislation, Surrogacy & India
Today's updates are short but sweet, as I am swamped today!
Here they are in shortened form:
Connecticut - The State lawmakers are considering updating state law to conform with a court ruling that allows that allows same-sex marriages, opponents of gay marriage fear their effort will go too far to promote homosexuality.
Massachusetts - A former Massachusetts woman has pleaded guilty to mail fraud and other charges for selling fertility drugs on the internet.
Israel - Israel grants work leave for a gay man for the birth of his son via a surrogate.
New Zealand - Separated couple in dispute over frozen embryos that they created together in 2000. No children have resulted from the other embryos; however, the woman wants to try again, despite the fact that they are separated. The male partner will not permit her to use them or to donate them to another couple.
India - Regulators are now pushing surrogacy legislation as the business continues to grow daily.

What about the statement in the Georgia bill that concludes only a married couple can "adopt" and embryo? This precludes a single woman's ability to to have a child by IVF in Georga. Are they going to be sterilzing single men by Senate order, so that equally their ability to have a child is taken away as well? The government of Georgia has obviously lost track of how and when laws are appropriate and need to realize that trying to micromanage people's lives is not the government's directive or job. The people of Georgia are the only ones who can put a stop to this foolishness.
