|
Assisted reproductive technology in pregnancy and childbirth has been increasingly used. In this context, the news that a single, unmarried woman who was foreign celebrity gave birth using a sperm donation has highlighted this controversial topic in relation to social, ethical, and legal issues within our society. Technology makes it possible for single mothers to become pregnant and give birth with the assistance of a sperm donor. However, the legal significance of women becoming mothers, for sperm donors and for children must be reviewed. Our society has adopted the family and relationships that based of pregnancy and childbirth on marriage. These are the concepts and values that dominate our society and culture. But it is crucial that women’s choices and their children are not discriminated against. Simultaneously, legal and just consideration must be given not only from the viewpoint of women but also from that of sperm donors and the welfare of child to be born.
