REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE LAWYER

A reproductive medicine attorney is a lawyer who specializes in legal issues related to reproductive rights, medical procedures, and technologies related to human reproductive health.

Reproductive medicine includes a wide range of practices such as artificial insemination, surrogacy, gamete preservation, women’s sexual and reproductive health, contraception, and other family planning methods. In Ukraine, there is no single normative legal act that would regulate the issue of reproductive medicine, but there are legislative provisions that contain an indirect reference to reproductive technologies, such as:

• Constitution of Ukraine;
• Family Code of Ukraine;
• Law of Ukraine “Basics of the legislation of Ukraine on health care”;
• Order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated September 9, 2013 No. 787 “On approval of the Procedure for the use of assisted reproductive technologies in Ukraine”.

A reproductive medicine attorney specializes in these laws and provides legal support to people seeking reproductive health care.
