Mother Seeks Access To Dead Son's Semen; Bombay HC Orders Fertility Centre To Preserve Sample
Last Updated: According to the facility centre, the man had signed a consent form, stating that the sample should be discarded after his death The Bombay High Court has ordered a Mumbai-based fertility centre to preserve the frozen semen of an unmarried man who passed away earlier this year. The order came after the man's mother filed a petition seeking access to the sample to continue the family line. The mother approached the High Court after the fertility centre refused to release the semen. According to the fertility centre, the man had signed a consent form during his cancer treatment, stating that the sample should be discarded after his death. The semen had been frozen while he was undergoing chemotherapy. In an interim order issued on June 25, a bench led by Justice Manish Pitale observed that discarding the sample before hearing the petition would make the matter pointless. The court therefore asked the fertility centre to ensure the safe storage of the sample till the next hearing, scheduled for 30 July. 'In the meanwhile, as an interim direction, the fertility centre is directed to ensure safe-keeping and storage of the frozen sample of the deceased, during pendency of the petition," the court ordered. The court also said the case raises important questions about how a person's semen should be handled after death under the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. The mother argued that her son had agreed to discard the sample without discussing it with the family. After his death in February, she requested the centre to release the semen so it could be transferred to a Gujarat-based IVF clinic for further steps. However, the fertility centre refused and insisted she obtain legal permission under the new law, which regulates and monitors ART clinics and procedures to ensure ethical use and protect the rights of those involved.

Woman Wants To Access Dead Son's 'Frozen Semen'. Bombay High Court Steps In
Mumbai: The Bombay High Court, in an interim order, has directed a city-based fertility centre to preserve the frozen semen of a dead man pending hearing of a petition by his mother who wants to use the fluid to continue the family line. The woman moved the HC after the fertility centre refused to release the frozen semen to her as the man, in his consent forms, had sought for the sperm carrying fluid to be discarded post-death. The man had chosen to freeze his semen when he was undergoing chemotherapy, a cancer treatment. A bench of Justice Manish Pitale on June 25 noted that if the frozen semen of the dead man is discarded pending hearing of the plea, then it would become infructuous. The court posted the petition for further hearing on July 30. "In the meanwhile, as an interim direction, the fertility centre is directed to ensure safe-keeping and storage of the frozen sample of the dead, during pendency of the petition," the court ordered. The bench noted that the petition raises important questions with regard to the manner in which the semen of a person is to be preserved after his death under provisions of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021. The court pointed out that in the present case, the man was unmarried at the time of his death in February. The woman, in her plea, argued her son had, without consulting family members, in his consent forms agreed to have the frozen semen discarded if he dies. After his death, the mother sought the Mumbai-based fertility centre to provide access to transfer the sample to a Gujarat-based IVF centre for future course of action. The fertility centre, however, refused and asked the mother to obtain authorization from court under the new Act, which seeks to regulate and supervise assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinics. The legislation also aims to ensure ethical practices, prevent misuse, and protect the rights of individuals seeking ART services.
