20.500.12556/DKUM-95907 Legal regulation of MAR and their impact on the child's right to origin disclosure – a slovenian perspective Having a child remains one of the fundamental values of life for individuals. However, many individuals and couples face difficulties in conceiving a child naturally. The rapid development of medicine—in particular, reproductive medicine—has brought hope and the realisation of the desire to have a child to individuals and couples who, in the past, would have remained childless. Artificial reproductive technologies have been developed, enabling the conception of a child who is genetically related to both parents, as well as a child whose conception involves a third party (e.g., a gamete donor, surrogate mother, or mitochondrial parent). The rapid development of reproductive medicine also requires appropriate legal regulations. In particular, issues relating to the right to disclosure of persons conceived with donated gametes and the related right to know the (genetic) origin have been raised in recent years. Many legislations, including that of Slovenia, still lean more toward maintaining donor anonymity, with possible exceptions (e.g., medical reasons), primarily regarding access to nonidentifying information about the donors. While Slovenian legislation emphasises the right of the child to information on their origin, it limits this to essential medical information and does not include personal data about the donor. This paper discusses possible amendments to existing Slovenian legislation in light of defining a child's right to origin disclosure and balancing the interests of the other parties involved. infertility artificial reproductive technologies gamete donation right to know the origin personal data anonymity true false false Angleški jezik Angleški jezik Neznano 2025-11-07 03:14:35 2025-11-17 10:11:34 2025-11-28 08:12:40 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 163-191 no. 1 Vol. 21 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 342.7:61 256210435 10.46941/2025.1.7 3004-2518 256210435.pdf 256210435.pdf 1 99775081A41093A2771268A13F006ADC 0a198a56f6f489d7e5e7f72f77a53bce6485a9186461f778d138c699b1d16739 cb6ab04b-c395-11f0-a1b7-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200699 Pravna fakulteta 0 0 0
