dc.description.abstractAchieving reproduction through Artificial Reproductive Technology (ART) is phenomenal and a shift in the dynamics of medicine and biotechnology. All over the world ART has developed beyond leaps and bounds, thereby assisting parties who are having fertility challenges and are unable to procreate to embrace parenthood. In Nigeria, ART has been practiced over thirty years and still we do not have a legislation for its development and over these years, people have undergone several ART procedures, which was successful and some unsuccessful. Where there are liabilities of unethical procedures, most people have not been able to hold medical personnel responsible as the absence of a regulatory framework still poses as a great challenge. The research methodology adopted is doctrinal as the paper examined existing literature in this field of law. This paper while explaining ART, also considered the constitutional right to privacy for parties, as the choice of bringing to the limelight the identity of parties and their children who are born through ART should be the personal choice of the parties involved. More so, the paper analyzed the legal framework of some jurisdictions, so as to enable our legislature reflect a semblance of those laws in our own legislation for a better re-defined and regulated use of ART. The authors made some recommendations and which if put in practice, will help us in the growth and development of ART in Nigeria.en_US
