§130. Legal transfer of rights and responsibilities

            The in vitro fertilized human embryo is owed a high duty of care and prudent administration. If the current intended parent or parents of an in vitro fertilized human embryo choose to renounce their rights and responsibilities for the embryo, by notarial act, the rights and responsibilities shall be legally transferred to a new intended parent or parents who shall assume the rights and responsibilities for the in vitro fertilized human embryo. The legal transfer of rights and responsibilities shall only be permitted for uses consistent with R.S. 9:122. No compensation shall be paid or received by any person for the renouncing of their rights and responsibilities for an in vitro fertilized human embryo.
