Abstract

The article analyses the issue of consent of a man who is a participant in medically assisted procreation to its implementation and its family and legal consequences as well as the consequences of failure to grant or recall it in the context of his reproductive freedom. The applicable legal regulation raises interpretation doubts regarding the equal status of participants in the medically assisted procreation procedure and the legal position of a man, depending on whether he is the spouse or partner of the recipient, and whether the couple undergoes the discussed procedure as part of partner donation or non-partner donation.
