| Research Abstract |
In the light of a growing demand for assisted reproductive technology (ART), legislation regulating ART in Japan is urgently required. Acting from the perspective of prioritizing an offspring’s “best interests,” overseas jurisdictions which have abolished the anonymity of gamete donors and given offspring the right to know their origin are increasing. Focusing on the case of Victoria, Australia, this study analyzeslegislation regulating ART, especially donor insemination, including offspring’s right to access their donor’s information, a donor’s right to access offspring’s information, and single and lesbian women’s right to use ART. Special emphasis is also put on differences between the Infertility Treatment Act 1995 and the Assisted Reproductive Treatment Act 2008, enacted from January 2010; a comparative analysis of the guiding principles of both acts shows how the rights of offspring, family (parents) and donor can be protected.
