Legal basis for modern reproductive technology contracts

Abstract

The basic principle of procreation is that it is achieved through natural means, i.e. sexual intercourse between a man and a woman, and that is its primary means. However, it may not be achieved due to congenital pathological reasons, or emergency reasons that may affect one or both of the spouses. Therefore, doctors have invented modern reproductive technologies that must be used, especially within the scope of overcoming some pathological conditions that prevent procreation through natural means. We have concluded that the contract of modern reproductive technologies, which is carried out between the spouses and two cells belonging to both of them, and which is termed homologous artificial insemination, has become a real reality, and even a legal reality; as it has been regulated by both foreign and Arab legislation. We have sought to clarify the nature of this contract by explaining its concept, characteristics, conditions, and pillars. Then we moved on to explain its effects and provisions.
