AI Summary
This bill amends existing Wyoming law by redefining "viability," which refers to the stage of fetal development when it can survive outside the womb, to include the ability to feel pain. It also prohibits the sale or transfer of any aborted child or its cells or tissue for experimentation, making such actions a felony punishable by significant fines and imprisonment, and clarifies that this prohibition applies regardless of whether the aborted child or its tissue is live or viable.
