What does the bill do?
The proposal sets conditions and procedures for taking sperm from a deceased person and using it for procreation after his death. Taking the sperm requires the approval of the director of the sperm bank, in accordance with the instructions the deceased gave during his lifetime. Use of sperm from a deceased person is permitted for his spouse under additional conditions, such as social-work approval, and in certain cases court approval. The proposal applies to Israeli residents seeking insemination or in vitro fertilization at a recognized sperm bank.
