Utah Code 78B-15-704. Consent to assisted reproduction

(1)	A consent to assisted reproduction by a married woman must be in a record signed by the woman and her husband. This requirement does not apply to the donation of eggs for assisted reproduction by another woman.

Assisted reproduction: means a method of causing pregnancy other than sexual intercourse. See Utah Code 78B-15-102
Child: means an individual of any age whose parentage may be determined under this chapter. See Utah Code 78B-15-102
Record: means information that is inscribed on a tangible medium or that is stored in an electronic or other medium and is retrievable in perceivable form. See Utah Code 78B-15-102

(2)	Failure of the husband to sign a consent required by Subsection (1), before or after the birth of the child, does not preclude a finding that the husband is the father of a child born to his wife if the wife and husband openly treat the child as their own.
