The achievements of modern medicine have expanded the range of controversial situations in doctrine and the practice of Family Law. A special ethical issue is concerned with parenthood as a result of assisted reproductive technologies. Many questions arise from this problem, such as the issue of who has the right to achieve parenthood through biomedical-assisted fertilization. Another important ethical question is: “Do children born this way have the right to know their biological origin?” Ultimately, the final question is whether biological and sociological parenting can be reconciled. How can this contradiction be resolved? The authors will try to give possible solutions to the mentioned problems considering solutions from comparative law and the needs of the current situation. All proposals de lege ferenda are given from the perspective of solutions and shortcomings of the family and reproductive legislation of the Republic of Srpska.
