In particular, courts in the<br>past 25 years have grappled with the issue of frozen embryo<br>disposition during a divorce proceeding. Most couples sign some<br>form of contract before freezing their embryos. Many state courts,<br>however, interpret and enforce these contracts differently than they<br>do other contracts. While approaches to in vitro fertilization<br>contract interpretation and enforcement already exist in some<br>states, many states have yet to decide what will happen if a frozen<br>embryo dispute arises. This Recent Development proposes a<br>solution that respects the principles of contract law while still<br>protecting the competing interests of the parties involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author:\u00a0<\/strong>Sarah B.
