Assisted human reproduction by using a donor a novelty of the romanian legislative system

Abstract

Medically assisted human reproduction by using a donor is one of the novelties of the new Civil Code. The social reality claimed the need to legislate medically assisted human reproduction in order to respond to the evolution of medicine and also the tendency to reduce the country’s birth rate, infertility and sterility. At the present time, the Civil Code merely set the guidelines in regulating this medical and legal procedure, but, in the future, the need to pass a special law which will clearly regulate all the aspects mentioned by specialty literature is needed. The present study wishes to discuss the main aspects regarding the medically assisted human reproduction by using a donor as well as the phrasing of some de lege ferenda suggestions.
