Legal Definitions - relevant art

Relevant art refers to the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) as an alternative to traditional reproduction for individuals who are infertile. ART includes procedures such as in vitro fertilization, sperm donation, ovum donation, and the use of a surrogate carrier.

For example, if a couple is unable to conceive a child naturally, they may choose to undergo in vitro fertilization, where an egg is fertilized outside of the body and then implanted into the uterus. Alternatively, a woman who is unable to produce viable eggs may choose to use an ovum donor to conceive a child.

These examples illustrate how relevant art can provide alternative options for individuals who are unable to conceive a child through traditional means.
