Post-mortem Sperm Retrieval (PMSR) is seldom requested in Australasia. The retrieval of sperm is permitted only by prior written consent or by order of the court. Sperm should be retrieved within 24 h following death; however, collection within 36 h may still be successful. The clinical response to such a request must be mindful of complex ethical and legal considerations. Clear, accessible and consistent law in this area would benefit medical, legal and societal stakeholders.
在澳大拉西亚地区,很少有人要求进行死后精子提取(PMSR)。只有经事先书面同意或法院命令,才允许提取精子。精子应在死亡后24小时内提取;然而,在36小时内提取仍可能成功。对这类请求的临床回应必须考虑到复杂的伦理和法律因素。这一领域清晰、易懂且一致的法律将使医疗、法律和社会相关方受益。
