Michigan passes bills banning fertility fraud, targeting false donor info and doctor self-donation, amid bipartisan debate.
The Michigan House passed legislation targeting fertility fraud by banning doctors and donors from knowingly providing false information about donor backgrounds, including family medical history up to third-degree relatives, and prohibiting doctors from using their own genetic material in treatments.
Sponsored by Republican Representative John Roth, the bills aim to prevent deceptive practices, especially after past scandals involving a deceased Detroit-area doctor.
While the legislation has bipartisan support, Democrats opposed it, warning the broad definitions could unfairly penalize people for honest mistakes or lack of knowledge about extended family health histories.
Proposed amendments to reduce liability were rejected in the Republican-controlled chamber.
The bills now move to the Democratic-led Senate.
