The authors analyzed the existing legal norms at both the national and international levels related to this issue. Postmortem reproduction is a relatively new phenomenon that has not yet fully revealed its potential and is associated with many legal, medical and ethical aspects. The article discusses and identifies possible legal problems that may arise in the practical implementation of post-mortem reproduction. The relevance of this article is determined by the growing interest in this procedure, the practice of its application, modern challenges associated with the death of a young, healthy reproductive generation and, accordingly, the resulting need for legal regulation of post-mortem reproduction, the creation of a clear legal framework to protect the rights and interests of the socially vulnerable part of the population.
