Advancement in reproductive technologies provides new and diverse opportunities to create offspring. Legal uncertainties often appear in treatments using new reproductive technology as law could not keep pace with the rapid progress of biomedical technology. Cryopreservation techniques has made possible for freezing of gametes, extraction of gametes from deceased person and use of these later for the purpose of non-coital procreation. All these have made posthumous reproduction a reality and this will continue to develop rapidly. However this also raises new set of ethical and sensitive challenges that are likely to be encountered in the court. Regulatory guidelines on posthumous assisted reproduction vary across the countries. India currently does not have regulation concerning posthumous assisted reproduction. Only document available is ICMR’s draft ART guidelines which is inadequately addressing the Posthumous assisted reproduction. Fertility clinics have mushroomed in India, a majority of them not registered with ICMR’S ART registry.The present paper highlights the ethical and legal challenges raised by posthumous reproduction.
