Fighting Fertility Fraud Act of 2023

Bill 118 HR 3710, also known as the Fighting Fertility Fraud Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress with the aim of addressing the issue of fertility fraud. Fertility fraud occurs when a fertility doctor or clinic uses their own sperm or eggs without the knowledge or consent of the patient.

The bill seeks to make it a federal crime for a fertility doctor or clinic to deceive a patient by using their own genetic material in place of the patient's requested donor. It also aims to establish a national registry for fertility doctors and clinics to track their practices and prevent future instances of fertility fraud.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions for increased penalties for fertility fraud, including fines and potential imprisonment for those found guilty of deceiving patients. It also calls for increased oversight and regulation of fertility clinics to ensure that patients are fully informed and protected. Overall, the Fighting Fertility Fraud Act of 2023 is a bipartisan effort to address a growing concern in the fertility industry and protect patients from being deceived by unscrupulous practitioners.
