密歇根州立法者正在重新审查立法,以打击生育欺诈行为,众议院委员会就一些法案举行听证会,这些法案将使伪造捐赠者信息成为重罪,最高可判处五年监禁和罚款50 000美元。 Michigan lawmakers are revisiting legislation to combat fertility fraud, with a House committee hearing on bills that would make falsifying donor information a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $50,000 fine. 这些法案还将未经同意使用医生精子定为犯罪,最高可判处15年和10万美元罚金。 The bills also criminalize non-consensual use of a doctor’s sperm, with penalties up to 15 years and $100,000. 支持者表示密歇根州缺乏超过十几个州的保护措施, 而批评者则警告法案过于宽泛, 可能不公平地给医生带来负担。 Supporters say Michigan lacks protections found in over a dozen states, while critics warn the bills are too broad and could unfairly burden physicians. 指控需要证明有欺骗的意图。 Charges would require proof of intent to deceive. 为第三届常会提出的法案仍在委员会中,但预计不久将举行众议院的投票。 The bills, introduced for the third straight session, remain in committee, but a House vote is anticipated soon.
