Inheritance of Children Born from Artificial Pregnancies
Keywords:
inheritance, artificial pregnancy, AncestryAbstract
Procreation is one of the most significant responsibilities that God has assigned to spouses. Men and women enter into marriage with the goal of having children. However, in certain circumstances, couples may be unable to conceive naturally. In recent years, scientific methods of artificial insemination have provided them with the possibility of having children through various artificial and laboratory techniques. One of the most important legal consequences of lineage is inheritance, which applies to all individuals. Throughout life, every person may either inherit from others or transfer their own estate to their heirs after death. Different countries adopt varying foundations for inheritance, such as biological or legal lineage. Given the challenges that have arisen regarding lineage in modern pregnancies, inheritance has also faced various complications. Who is entitled to inherit in cases of artificial insemination? What is the inheritance status of the genetic contributors? How can legal parents inherit or transfer their estate? These are critical issues that must be analyzed and discussed in this article. Therefore, the present study examines inheritance resulting from artificial pregnancies.
