RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association has learned of a series of bills -- Senate Bill Nos. 647, 648, 649, 650, 651, and 652 and House Bill Nos. 5131, 5132, 5133, 5134, 5130, and 5129 (the “Billsâ€) – pending in the Michigan state legislature that threaten the interests of infertility patients. The Senate Bills are up for immediate hearing, and we urge residents of Michigan to let the legislators know that they oppose these Bills.
While the Bills purport to regulate stem cell research, they actually go much further: they mandate vast, new Governmental surveillance of infertility patients and their treatment. Under these bills, the Government would collect and publicize intimate information about infertility patients. The Bills would unreasonably burden the treating physicians and would certainly raise the cost of medical treatments to have a baby. They would also add so many conditions that few people could exercise their choice to donate surplus embryos to research. For these reasons, RESOLVE opposes these Bills and urges that they be rejected.
