Abstract

AbstractIslamic Republic of Iran has provided a legal framework for Embryo transfer so that Fertility becomes possible with third party intervention. The use of this method of Fertility as well as its effects and rules are subject to cultural, social and religious factors. The brief nature of the embryo donation law indicates the lack of adequate measures for the Child’s future. The present study aimed to review the embryo donation law in Iran and some challenges in determining the rights of the Child. This study employed a library, descriptive and analytical method and is based on Shia jurisprudence and law books. By using the keywords of “Donation, Alimony, Custody, and Inheritance”, various aspects of the embryo donation law have been investigated. Article 3 of the Embryo Donation Law considers the duties and responsibilities of the couples who donate the embryo and the born Child in terms of maintenance, alimony and being mahram (. An unmarriageable kin in Islamic Sharia legal terminology), similar to the duties and responsibilities of Children and parents. However, the important issues of lineage and inheritance are not considered. Neither it elaborates compliance with the principle of Confidentiality and the non-identification of the genetic parents, the coercive guardianship of the father, and the prohibition of marriage (being mahram). There is neither enough clarity about the method of evaluating the recipient couple’s moral competence, the limit of the number of gamete donations, alimony, or custody. It is necessary to explain the kinship and genetic inheritance, amend birth certificate registration law, specify the rejection of anonymity to prevent the phenomenon of mixing lineage based on Shia jurisprudence, or to add new materials to this law.
