Abstract

An examination of the parenthood provisions in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Acts 1990 and 2008; a critique of their underlying assumptions; an analysis of the case law when biological fathers seek to be recognised as having a role in the upbringing of children living with same-sex female couples as mothers.
