Abstract
In the Republic of Croatia, medically assisted reproduction is governed by medical and legal regulations. The Medically Assisted Reproduction Act governs the conditions for exercising the right to medically assisted reproduction and the rights, obligations, and responsibilities of all the participants in medically assisted reproduction procedures. The Family Act governs the issues regarding the ancestry of a child conceived with medical assistance. The author discusses the protection of the rights of a child conceived through medically assisted reproduction, the effects of the application of regulations governing medically assisted reproduction on family relationships, the use of medically assisted reproduction outside the borders of the Republic of Croatia (especially surrogacy), and the effects of medically assisted reproduction on the traditional understanding of the family.
