Post Mortem Assisted Reproductive Technology and the Will in Romania

Summary/Abstract: The latest and most remarkable technological discoveries/developments, which allow gamete cryopreservation (spermatozoa, embryos, ovarian tissue), raise many legal, social, ethical and moral issues, especially regarding the right to post-mortem reproduction, that includes either a woman’s request to conceive a child after her husband’s death or a man’s to require a surrogate mother’s help to carry the dead wife’s embryos. Romania is one of the few European countries which does not benefit from a legislative framework with respect to assisted reproductive technology (ART), currently only assisted reproductive technology with third party donor being regulated (articles 441-447 Civil Code of Romania).
