Abstract

The post mortem assisted human reproduction technique has been authorized since 2002 by the Civil Code. The ethical and legal aspects involved in such decision by the legislator are unquestionable. After all, it is about the generation of a life, a child who will be born without having the opportunity to meet his father, since he is already dead when he is conceived, or when he, still as an embryo, is transferred to the maternal uterus. The dignity of this human being who is conceived or gestated after the death of his biological father is the leit motiv of the study that was published.
