The purpose of this study is to establish the new desirable principles applicable to the artifical insemination child in Korea by examine the situation and trend of artificial insemination in western countries.
Although with the relatively recent origin of the medical technique of artificial insemination, the legal status of the artificial insemination child is one of the hottest issues in modern family law.
In the past, there were only three types of artificial insemination;A·I·H·(Artificial Insemination by Husband or Homologous Insemination), C·A·I·(Confused Artificial Insemination) , and A·I·D·(Artificial Insemination by Donor or Heterologous Insemination). Of these three A·I·D, has been treated one with the legal importance.
But, today, recent rapid advances in the technology of reproduction such techniques as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, and surrogate mothering have issued many problems in social and legal respects.
In our country too, the recent birth of Test Tube Baby and the appearance of the case about the child by A·I·D· require some new legal solutions.
