- Abstract
- This article examines the recent trends in the family law issues arising out of
the assisted reproduction technology at national and international level.
Firstly, in case of AID (artificial insemination by donor), there is an
international consensus that the husband who has consented to the AID should
be deemed the father of the child. However, there is a debate in recent years,
whether or not the child is entitled to know her genetic father.
Secondly, there is much controversy over the surrogate mother. In Korea, the
prevailing opinion regards it as immoral and asserts that it should not be
allowed. In case of the gestational surrogate mother, the prevailing opinion is
that the woman who has delivered a child, not an ovum provider, is considered
a mother. On the other hand, there are jurisdictions in which the surrogacy is
allowed and an ovum provider is regarded as a mother.
Thirdly, when a child was borne by way of posthumous insemination, could
she be treated as the child of the sperm provider? In 2006, the Japanese
Supreme Court denied it. In contrast, the UK passed Human Fertilisation and
Embryology (Deceased Fathers) Act 2003, which recognized the sperm provider
as the legal father of the child.
It is urgent that there be a new statute to govern these legal issues.
Furthermore, the new statute should fully respect the human right of procreation
of those involved in the assisted reproduction.
