Italy's supreme Court of Cassation
ruled Wednesday that children born with assisted fertility
methods are legitimate even when this fertilisation is done post
mortem.
This is provided that the father gives his agreement before
dying, together with his wife.
The ruling came in the case of a girl born with frozen sperm.
Birth certificates must recognise paternity and the children
must be given their father's name, the Cassation Court said.
