The session covers what qualifies as reproductive material, who owns it, and how it can be used after a donor’s death, including by whom and under what authority.
It also examines conflicts when stakeholders have competing interests in the deceased’s reproductive material and any resulting children, with practical resolutions for clients and planning best practices to reduce disputes.
