Summary: AFA Action, the governmental and legislative affairs affiliate of the American Family Association, supports the proposed rule but urges specific modifications to protect the dignity of human embryos. They argue that the rule should exclude coverage for selective reduction, "excess" embryo production, and all forms of surrogacy while limiting coverage to reasonable treatments like natural cycle IVF.
As the attached comment explains, AFA Action supports clarifying the proposed rule so that it protects the dignity and life of all human embryos; and limits coverage to reasonable treatments while excluding all forms of surrogacy.
