This law(No. 10448), highlighted by MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, amends existing regulations to ensure servicemen and women's rights to biological parentage. Key aspects include:
- Posthumous storage of reproductive cells at no cost for three years, with the option for extended storage by a designated individual.
- Allows individuals to legally designate the use of their reproductive cells in the event of their death.
- Recognizes the deceased individual as the parent of a child conceived using their reproductive cells after their death.
- Validates notarized pre-law enactments concerning an individual's reproductive cells as a basis for using assisted reproductive technologies.
This legislative action addresses prior legal barriers, ensuring that families and individuals have the means to honor the wishes and legacy of fallen soldiers.
