Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill would allow frozen eggs to be stored for the whole life of the woman they come from, as already happens with sperm.
  2. It would remove the requirement for an outside specialist's opinion to stop storing eggs, and ending storage would no longer be limited to the end of the woman's fertile period.
  3. Frozen eggs could be used only by the woman herself, with no mention of a spouse, and consent to use embryos would be given by the woman and her partner, if she has one.
  4. The Ministry of Health would have twelve months to review the assisted reproduction law and address the buildup of embryos in storage banks.

Who it affects

  • Women with frozen eggs: They would have more freedom to decide when to stop storing them and what to do with them.
  • Fertility clinics and banks: They would have to apply the new rules on storing and using eggs and embryos.
  • Couples with frozen embryos: Consent to use them would have to come from the woman and also her partner, if she has one.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
