Oklahoma HB1117 establishes legal protections for in vitro fertilization, considers embryos as patient property, and sets no limit on embryo creation.

Oklahoma HB1117 codifies legal protections for in vitro fertilization, allowing authorized medical practitioners to perform the technique with written consent from both spouses. It considers children conceived through in vitro fertilization as naturally conceived and classifies human embryos created during the process as the patient's property. The bill also removes any limits on the number of embryos that can be created, frozen, or implanted in a single cycle.
