The Assisted Human Reproduction Act is a piece of legislation enacted by the Parliament of Canada on March 29, 2004. The Act, with its full title being "An Act respecting assisted human reproduction," aims to regulate various aspects of assisted human reproduction technologies and activities in Canada.

Background

The need for the Assisted Human Reproduction Act arose due to advancements in reproductive technology that raised ethical, legal, and social concerns. The Act was designed to address issues such as surrogacy, in vitro fertilization, and the use of donor sperm and egg donation.

Provisions

The Assisted Human Reproduction Act establishes a regulatory framework for assisted human reproduction in Canada. It prohibits certain practices, such as human cloning and the creation of chimeras. The Act also sets out rules for the use of assisted reproductive technologies and the handling of reproductive material.

Furthermore, the Act establishes the Assisted Human Reproduction Agency of Canada to oversee compliance with the legislation and to promote the safety and ethical conduct of assisted human reproduction activities.

Impact

Since its enactment, the Assisted Human Reproduction Act has had a significant impact on the practice of assisted human reproduction in Canada. It has provided clarity on permissible procedures and has helped protect the rights of individuals involved in assisted reproduction processes.

Enforcement

The enforcement of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act is overseen by the Assisted Human Reproduction Agency of Canada. The Agency is responsible for monitoring compliance with the Act, investigating complaints, and taking enforcement actions when necessary.

Amendments

The Assisted Human Reproduction Act has been supplemented by the Assisted Human Reproduction Regulations, which provide additional details and guidelines for the implementation of the Act's provisions.
