The ''Assisted Human Reproduction Act'' is law enacted by the Parliament of Canada.〔''Assisted Human Reproduction Act'', S.C. 2004, c. 2.〕 Its purpose was to regulate assisted human reproduction and related research. It is one of the most comprehensive pieces of legislation in the world concerning reproductive technologies and related research. It was introduced and passed in 2004 and was fully in force by 2007. The Act was meant to provide Canadians with a system of licensing, monitoring, inspection and enforcement of activities relating to AHR in order to protect and promote Canadians’ health, safety and values. It identifies prohibited activities, as well as controlled activities, which are AHR activities that can be performed in Canada, but require a licence and adherence to the regulations. However, a 2010 Supreme Court case that ruled that certain sections of the Act exceeded the federal government's legislative power means that the scope of the Act's regulatory framework is significantly reduced (see below). ==Constitutional Validity== (詳細はSupreme Court of Canada declared some sections of the ''Assisted Human Reproduction Act'' unconstitutional.〔(Reference re Assisted Human Reproduction Act, 2010 SCC 61 ), () 3 S.C.R. 457〕 It was ruled that the sections listed below exceeded the legislative jurisdiction of the Parliament of Canada under the ''Constitution Act, 1867'': * 10,11,13: Certain provisions regarding controlled activities * 14-18: Certain provisions regarding privacy and access to information * 40(2), 40(3), 40(3.1), 40(4), 40(5), 44(2), 44(3): Certain provisions regarding administration 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Assisted Human Reproduction Act」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
