Puerto Rico

Surrogacy, Egg Donation & Sperm Donation -

I just got wind of some legislation being pushed through in Puerto Rico that will criminalize anonymous gamete donation, in addition to compensated gamete donation/surrogacy, and posthumous reproduction. I have included a link to a site that can be translated, but it appears that the penalties are severe (felony level).

Hearings are set for tomorrow. Thanks to Dr. Debra Reuben for her hard work and dedication for trying to keep this law off the books. Updates expected soon.

Contact Music reports that a Catholic cardinal of Honduras, Oscar Andres Rodriguez has maligned Ricky Martin - who fathered twins last week - saying:

“What Martin did diminishes the dignity of a human being. You can’t just buy or rent life. It’s even worse when someone famous and in the public eye is doing it.”
