Same-sex partners as holders of the right to biomedically assisted fertilization
Abstract
In some European legislation same-sex partners are allowed access to appropriate conception procedures of biomedically assisted fertilization. Determining the child's family status in that case involves relinquishment of the traditional framework of maternity and paternity: a child, in other words, may have a mother or a father, and another parent of the same sex. Analyzing comparative law solutions in this field, it can be concluded that same-sex partners as holders of the right to biomedically assisted fertilization are establishing a new parenting paradigm - parenting as a project.
