dc.description.abstractThe application of advances in reproductive technologies continues to raise significant legal and ethical questions. The retrieval of sperm from a dead man for procreation is no exception, not least because individual choice regarding procreation represents the very essence of human self-determination. A request for posthumous sperm retrieval typically comes in a situation where no prior consent for the procedure exists: a person requests the removal of the sperm of a deceased spouse or partner in situations of unexpected loss and tragedy, such as the sudden death of that spouse or partner in a motor vehicle accident.en
