Assisted Conception & Family Building in 2023

The start of 2023 provides renewed opportunity to reflect on future goals, personal relationships and family plans. The decision to have a child is a big step and the journey to parenthood can be long and complex, especially when it involves assisted conception. Furthermore, fertility treatment does not guarantee conception or delivery of a much-wanted child, with reducing prospects of success due to age-related fertility decline. This makes it important to plan ahead, make informed decisions and put together a viable action plan.

Developments in International Surrogacy Law and Practice

The international surrogacy landscape continues to evolve rapidly, with recent developments across Russia, Ukraine and in relation to legal recognition across the world. Russia’s war in Ukraine, increasing Russian nationalism and international policymakers’ ongoing efforts to legally recognise the parentage of surrogate born children across borders illustrates the complex and fast moving legal and political arena and continued need for expert navigation of international surrogacy arrangements.

Is it important to protect my fertility and genetic legacy?

Individual fertility is precious and fragile. It can be lost or impaired for a variety of reasons, making it important to maximise and protect it for future family building purposes. Recognition and protection of individual genetic legacy is also becoming increasingly important from a medical standpoint, personal identity perspective, for personal privacy and security reasons and for the benefit of future generations as scientific, medical and genomic technology continues to rapidly advance. As such, it is important to take steps to protect individual fertility and genetic legacy not just for yourself but for the benefit of your partner/spouse and family too.

Later-life parenthood: what do I need to consider?

Women and men are increasingly delaying having children in their twenties and thirties, choosing instead to focus on their jobs and careers, becoming a homeowner and building a more stable economic position. In addition, increasing acceptance of non-traditional family forms and growing numbers of people choosing to become parents in second-time relationships are driving trends in later-life parenthood. As a result, more people are turning to fertility treatment, donor conception and surrogacy to overcome issues associated with age-related fertility decline and advancing age. Demand for fertility treatment is further fuelled by increasing awareness that a woman’s fertility is finite, typically showing significant falls in fertility levels and successful birth outcomes as from age 35.
