Assisted Reproduction and Estate Planning in a Post-Dobbs Landscape
When: November 9, 2023
Location: American Law Institute Continuing Legal Education (ALI CLE)
 

Zoom Webinar

People: Carole M. Bass

Carole Bass was a panelist at a webinar, "Assisted Reproduction and Estate Planning in a Post-Dobbs Landscape," co-sponsored by The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC).

The use of assisted reproduction and developing medical technologies to create or expand a family has necessitated a rapidly evolving area of law. The Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization has prompted states to propose or institute new laws surrounding abortion, surrogacy, and the viability of an embryo or fetus, leaving things in a state of flux. Numerous cases challenging these laws are also winding their way through the court system.

At this webinar, Carole explored:

  • Where we stand with the Supreme Court’s abortion decisions and current state law
  • How the Dobbs decision impacts reproductive technology
  • What action states have taken with respect to “personhood” and “fetal personhood”
