Understanding Assisted Reproductive Technology Under Florida Law
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) provides options for individuals and couples seeking to conceive a child who is genetically related to one or both intended parents, or through the use of donated embryos. In gestational surrogacy, a surrogate carrier gestates an embryo that is not formed from the carrier’s egg, but instead results from the egg and/or sperm of the intended parents or donors.
Florida law permits gestational surrogacy arrangements when, within reasonable medical certainty as determined by a licensed physician, the intended mother cannot safely carry a pregnancy to term, when pregnancy would pose a risk to her physical health, or when gestation would endanger the health of the fetus. Florida statutes also require that at least one intended parent be the genetic parent of the child.
