Storage Period for Gametes Bill [HL]

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill changes the rules about how long fertility clinics can store people's eggs, sperm, or embryos. Currently, there are strict time limits on storage; this bill would extend those limits, giving people more flexibility in deciding when to use their stored reproductive cells for having children.

Presented by Baroness Deech.
