Sažetak

Posthumous insemination was introduced in the Republic of Macedonia in March 2008 with the enactment of the Act on Biomedically Assisted Reproduction. Undoubtedly, posthumous insemination poses a number of legal, ethical and moral dilemmas, especially in the countries that have accepted the possibility of women's eggs to be fertilized after their husband’s death. In this article, the author focuses on the analysis of the legal dilemmas arising from posthumous insemination. The paper analyses the important question of the impact of posthumous insemination on marital and family relations. A review is given of the legal status of frozen reproductive cells. In addition, the issue of filiation and denial of paternity of a child conceived by posthumous insemination is analysed. Special attention is given to the legal status of children in the context of the possibility of inheriting property from the father. In addition to an analysis of Macedonian legislation, the paper offers a review of the legal regulation of posthumous insemination in most European countries and the United States of America.
