Parental status of deceased spouse.

If a spouse dies before placement of eggs, sperm, or embryos, the deceased spouse is not a parent of the resulting child unless the deceased spouse consented in a signed record, maintained by the licensed assisting physician, that if assisted reproduction were to occur after death, the deceased individual would be a parent of the child.
