The authors have set out to discuss the social and ethical significance of posthumous sperm retrieval, and the laws currently in force in Italy, the United States&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;and elsewhere.&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Methods&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;International literature from 1997 to 2020 has been reviewed from Pubmed database, Google Scholar and Scopus,&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;drawn upon American, Italian and international sources (an ethically acceptable solution can only be achieved through an overhaul of the laws currently in effect). One of the most contentious issues was about donor consent. In Italy, a donor&amp;#039;s will to retrieve his sperm in the event of premature disappearance can be proven according to the Law 219\/2017, through advance health care directives.&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Results&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;A substantial increase, both in requests and protocols, was documented in the United States. In Italy, over the last two years, three rulings were issued concerning posthumous insemination. However, no official standardized protocols, guidelines or targeted legislation exist at the national level to regulate medical activity in that realm, whereas established laws often set implicit limitations.&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Conclusion&amp;lt;\/strong&amp;gt; &amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;Current legal frameworks appear to be inadequate, because in most cases they were conceived under conditions that&amp;lt;br \/&amp;gt;have radically changed. The need for newly-updated regulatory frameworks to promptly bridge that gap is increasingly clear, if current social needs related to reproductive rights are to be met in the foreseeable future.&amp;lt;\/p&amp;gt;<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17392\/1256-21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,21]],"date-time":"2024-04-21T10:28:16Z","timestamp":1713695296000},"page":"114-121","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Posthumous sperm retrieval: a procreative revolution"],"prefix":"10.17392","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2966-1112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesca","family":"Negro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sapienza University of Rome","place":["Rome,Italy"],"department":["Department of Anatomical, Histological, Forensic and Orthopaedic Sciences"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renata","family":"Beck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Foggia, Policlinico \"AUO Riuniti\"","place":["Foggia,Italy"],"department":["Anesthesia and Intensive Care Unit, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonella","family":"Cotoia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Foggia, Policlinico \"AUO Riuniti\"","place":["Foggia,Italy"],"department":["Anesthesia and Intensive Care Unit, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria Cristina","family":"Varone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sapienza University of Rome","place":["Rome,Italy"],"department":["Department of Anatomical, Histological, Forensic and Orthopaedic Sciences"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"49509","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"512","article-title":"A method for obtaining viable sperm in the postmortem state","author":"CRothmanC","year":"1980","unstructured":"Rothman CM.
