چکیده
to five contestants might be involved in child-custody conflicts. As cases of ART in which third parties are involved become more common, the issue of what constitutes a parent is now, perhaps more than ever, highly contested. There is no consensus on what parents are or what they should be. At the heart of the issue are at least two important questions. First, what is the relative importance and status of biological and social parents, and what rights and responsibilities should each have? In other words, which is more important, the time spent in the womb or the time spent with the child? Second, what role should the law have in the regulation of parenting practices and in what ways should it intervene in reproductive decisions? Courts all over the world are struggling to formulate legal definitions of parenthood that would facilitate the task of attributing custody in the increasingly complex relationships that result from the use of ART. The issue is whether it is sufficient to reconsider and adapt current legal frameworks, or whether society must devise entirely new concepts of parenthood.
