Posthumous reproduction refers to the procedure that enables a
child to be conceived using the gametes of a dead person. Advances
in reproductive technology mean it is now possible to assist in
creating a life after you die, and in recent years the number of
women who have attempted to get pregnant using posthumous
reproduction has increased. However, the law in many jurisdictions
has not put regulations in place to deal with the ethical and legal
consequences that arise as a result of posthumous reproduction.
This is the first book to exclusively focus on posthumous
reproduction. The book comprehensively explores the legal and
ethical issues surrounding posthumous reproduction in a number of
jurisdictions including the US, Israel, the UK and France. The book
looks at a number of issues including: ascertaining the wishes of
the dead and protecting the reproductive rights of men who have
deposited frozen sperm in clinics prior to their deaths; cases
involving people who want to acquire fresh sperm from deceased or
incompetent men and determining who should have the right to accept
the sperm; identifying the parents of the posthumously conceived
child; and discussing the need to promote the best interests of the
child. The book critically examines the current laws that are in
place and proposes additional regulations and policies in order to
effectively regulate posthumous reproduction.
