As a juridical person, the embryo or child born as a result of in vitro fertilization and in vitro fertilized human embryo donation to another person does not retain its inheritance rights from the in vitro fertilization patients or a donor of gametes used in the in vitro fertilization process, unless the donor is a person from whom the child could otherwise inherit under laws of succession notwithstanding the in vitro fertilization process.",
