Legal Regulation of Embryo and Sperm Preservation Centers in Jordanian Law

A new category of banks called embryo and sperm preservation facilities has emerged as a result of the considerable improvements that have been made in this era across many centers, particularly the medical field. Yet, this development raised several legal issues because the Jordanian government did not adequately regulate it. The agreement reached between the centers for the preservation of sperm and embryos is considered to be special, deriving its specificity from the place and the purpose that the patient desired, and that delivery is not a requirement of the agreement, but rather an obligation that falls on the shoulders of the preservation centers. Accordingly, we hope that the Jordanian legislator will establish a legal system for these centers by adding a provision within the Jordanian Medical Liability Law No. (25) of 2018.
