- Title
Considering the need for a father: the role of clinicians in safeguarding family values in UK fertility treatment.
- Authors
Gamble, Natalie
- Abstract
One of the most hotly debated issues in the UK's new Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008 has been the abolition of the requirement for clinicians to consider a prospective child's 'need for a father' before offering treatment. Leading fertility law specialist and solicitor Natalie Gamble reviews the history of the 'need for a father' provision and assesses the practical impact of the new legal requirement of clinicians to consider the child's need for 'supportive parenting'.
