Ḥuqūq-i Taṭbīqī-yi Nasb: Persian 1403

It has now been two decades since the law on embryo donation for infertile couples was passed in the country. Years before the passage of such a law, assisted reproductive methods with third-party intervention were used in the country, and infertile couples had children through this method. This is not a strange event, as the law moves slowly and slowly in all societies; unlike the process of science and technology, which advances rapidly. However, the aforementioned law is not comprehensive for two reasons; first, it does not cover all assisted reproductive methods and is limited to embryo donation. Second, it provides a strange and ambiguous statement of the lineage of children born from these methods. According to the law, applicants for receiving embryos are not parents; but they must maintain and care for the child; as if they had adopted a child under their care. Is the situation the same in all legal systems? By studying various legal systems, it becomes clear why and how the third party's entry into the reproductive process is recognized, which is not an easy task, as well as his role in the lineage of the child resulting from this process. Now that many children have been born in the country through the aforementioned methods and their existence cannot be ignored, it is necessary to study the experience of the laws of other countries about the issue of their lineage. In this way, it may be possible to help eliminate the shortcomings in the legal regulation of such phenomena. This research is an effort in this direction.
